    Happy to be here!

    Found this site recommended on a MoneyTalk column in my community newspaper. Have been reading a few entries and can already tell that there is a wealth of information to be obtained. I am permanently disabled and on a very tight budget as my only income is from Social Security Disability. I am eager to find new and different ways to maximize the utilization of my finances. Only current problem is paying down one credit card bill that was incurred due to Veterinary charges when my kittycat needed emergency care. $900 for three visits --- but she is my constant companion and needed help. Now trying to keep all expenses down as much as possible to get that bill taken care of as soon as possible. Thankfully, she is all well and just as feisty and spoiled as ever! Looking forward to participating in the forums. Best wishes to everyone!

    Welcome to the group.  There are a lot of interesting, helpful, resourceful people here.  I have learned much from them already.  I posted this in another thread but The Humane Society of the United States has site with a link to veterinary assistance resources for folks who are senior or disabled.  Perhaps there may be something helpful there for you.

    Tuney: Thank you so much for the link to the Humane Society! There is amazing information provided and I know it will definitely come in handy for future reference. On the site for less than 4hours and reaping benefits already --- Great job!
