The people above is giving great advice. I am a college student and I work a part-time job. During my breaks I work full time. When I fist got Honey I was right now I stay in an apartment with 2 other people but we reall dont have to share anything but the kitchen and living room. After this semster I will be moving to a 2 bedroom. Honey seem to adjust pretty good with moving. On the other hand I might go to 1 or 2 parties a year so I get to be at home with Honey most of the time. Do I have the best finances NO Im in college but I love having a dog. I think it more so depends on your lifestyle at school. As far as money goes I havent really had to spend a lot of money on vet bills. All Honey shots I got done by a vet that comes to our walgreens. They are really sweet people and there shots are not much at all (not sure if they do this in your area). So far I think the highest vet bill that I had for Honey was $75.00 and that is when I just took her. I recieved her first check up for free so I didnt have to pay for that. Also food is not a big deal. I buy the 4.5 pound bag and it last for about 2 1/2 months. I honestly think I spent more money on buying her crate and other things that I wanted her to have. This is my first yorkie and she is my baby. I say you should go for it but only if you think you can pay for the things your yorkie will need and be ready to take it to the vet if needed. Now I am giving you my side but please also to into consideration what the people above are saying because they are trying to inform you on how much money and things you can come out of if something was to happen. I know its other college students on here so maybe they will see this and give you their point of view as well. Goodluck and please let us know what you decide to do. |
