to feed your children or feed your horse, and you only wait for the "tide
to turn", then you have no business with either. The couple hundred bucks
will keep you going for another week or so, and then what? >>
It is easy to judge when you don't walk in their shoes. The best-laid plans
can go astray, and life can change from reasonable comfort to devastation
almost overnight. I've seen it happen too many times to second-guess people.
Yes, sometimes there is an element of poor planning in disaster, but if the
only people who could own horses or have kids are those that have a couple of
years' safety net in the bank, it would be a pretty restrictive world.
