Healthy Yorkies have a life span of about 15 years. The very tiny , not bred to standard ones are at increased risk for life limiting (and expensive) problems. Based on your past experience, I would hold off until you can afford to purchase from a responsible breeder. It may seem like a lot up front, but may save you lots of money and heart ache in the future.
Oh, and I'm a big BIG fan of going the rescue root.
