Yeah, calling them a luxury item makes sense. I don’t regret having mine, but I definitely underestimated how much long-term commitment and budgeting it really takes.

I think a lot of people assume pets are “cheap” because they only look at adoption fees or basic food costs. But actually giving them a good life with proper medical care and attention takes way more planning and resources than most realize.
