Every baby needs food (fuel), attention (maintenance), and an investment for their future (insurance). License and insurance are one of the main requirements when owning a car and can cost up to XCD $2,000 yearly. In order for a car to function, it needs fuel. Some cars use gasoline and others use diesel and fuel can cost up to XCD $50 to $100 weekly. Cars are machines, they don’t last for a lifetime. In order for a car to keep performing its functions, it must be maintained and repaired whenever there are damages.

From vet visits to purchasing the right products to ensure proper nutrition, our furry little friends can be a great responsibility. Quality medical care and grooming can cost up to XCD $200 or more per month and quality pet food can be as high as XCD $50 per bag. Pets do help to elevate the feeling of loneliness but can be expensive to maintain.

Lastly, work out and weight loss plans can be very lengthy and boring. We tend to drift off from the original plan and rely on less effective plans that don’t work.
