Beat: Spending more on your pet's health than your own.

[iswimbettor]

Just spent $900 on my cat. She has kidney failure and needs IV fluids for the rest of her life, and definitely the start of more to come. She should live for a few more years if treated right. It was a tough call to determine if it was +EV but I love the cat so I guess it is.

What's the most you have spent on a pet?...and what's the limit to which you just say "forget it?" I don't want to seem inhumane but I don't even have health insurance, seems kinda ridiculous. I think this was a pretty close coin flip for me (having never had a pet before this).

Discuss.
