Cindy, just hope and pray that your circumstances never change.  I've seen 
caring, well-meaning people go from financially comfortable to literally 
destitute in short order (death in the family, divorce, terminal illness, 
etc.).  Many hang on to a "buddy" that is not suitable for sale, hoping the 
tide will turn, until faced with the fact that a couple hundred bucks IS a 
big deal.  When faced with feeding your children or feeding your horse, and 
with no money for vet fees, some folks have to make choices that hurt.
