I thought I was giving my kids the best childhood ever until my 4-year-old asked why we didn't own a 'bigger golf cart' (www.businessinsider.com)

I make less than 100k a year and my dogs insurance costs about that much. I didn't have insurance for him before because he was young and healthy but then he tore his ACL and the surgery set me back 6.5K. That wasn't exactly a drop in the bucket for me, at the time I had less than half of that in savings, and had to max out my credit card. So now yeah it sucks having to pay that much but if he does get a bad injury or illness - obviously I really hope that doesn't happen and I have him for many more years to come - as he grows older, it will cost me way less as a lump sum.
