Every day at work I see elderly people from shithole nursing homes who ended up in the nursing home because they couldn't afford the dog food they'd been living on for the past few years.

If you're smarter AND luckier AND more disciplined than everyone else, have at it. But if you're not as smart as you think you are, I'd suggest developing a taste for ALPO.
You're going to need it

Alpo avoidance is a hell of a motivator, isn't it? I'm well out of the Alpo zone; I think I've guaranteed Mrs. Treesong and I a retirement at least at the Hamburger Helper level -- but even though that's true, I still occasionally feel the fear of an Alpo-filled twilight of my life. Not often, but boy, when that one hits, it really grabs you by the short-and-curlies, doesn't it?

Nice bedside manner, doc.
