luxury watches for rent image
Tammie 454
One of my roommates has a Yorkshire Terrier that I absolutely adore, much to the point where after she moved out, I considered buying a pet myself. Yet, between going to school full-time and pulling a part-time job on the side to pay bills, do I really have the luxury of being able to take in a pet and care for it and raise it?
Answer
it depends on the person-
I just graduated an adult high school program (even though I'm only 19) as a full-time student and had to work a full-time job as a housekeeper (while a full-time student) to afford my apartment, bills, food, etc...I haven't lived with my parents since I was 14 so I'm used to taking care of my self and my life...I own a 9 year old chow mix, an 11-month old kitten with anxiety problems, two hamsters, and 3 large fresh water fish tanks...my pets have more money spent on them than I spend on my rent...I only eat one meal a day and I only sleep about 3 or 4 hours a night...I have state insurance yet I haven't been to the doctor in three years BUT all of my pets (my cat, dog, and both hamsters) have check-ups every six months...the cat and the dog are each insured in case something happens that I can't afford on my own; I have a two bedroom apartment so that the cat and the dog can each have their own space, I afford a lot of things for them that I otherwise wouldn't be able to buy having dog walking jobs, babysitting pets while owners are on vacation, I get paid to train my neighbor's dog; basically little jobs on the side of my full-time job---I make it work because that's how bad I want it; you have to really want it in order to make it work...I'm applying for college to become a vet tech, and while I'm in school I probably won't have the time or the money for all of my pets, so I've been calling on the help of my friends to take the dog (and maybe the cat) in for awhile; my best friend says she'll be able to watch the dog on the weekdays while I'm in school (because I trained her cat for her and because I pay for her hamster's vet care when she can't) so really, you can have a dog, but are you willing to lose sleep in order to give your dog the one-on-one time he needs everyday to play and go for a walk and train him? are you willing to sacrifice all of your extra cash to afford food, toys, the vet? for students who support themselves, like us, having a pet is a tough choice that must be thought through very carefully: you have to be willing to give up all your free time and your free cash to do what is in the best interest of the animal-if you can't do that then don't get a pet...if you decide you can sacrifice for an animal then consider the options: you don't have to get a big animal like a dog or a cat, that requires as much attention as a baby, you can get all sorts of pets!
Fish tanks, Tree frogs, Hermit crabs, Gerbils, Rabbits...
do your research, if you're determined then yes, the right pet is out there for you...if not then do yourself and the animal a favor, don't get pet you haven't researched or can't handle
here's a link to "5 steps to choosing the right pet"
read the directions and be honest with yourself:

then after you have chosen a pet you might want, research it a little to be sure, here's a link to a wide variety of pet care sheets (to keep you open mined, scroll through the page and see the complete list of many animals, some of which might be right for you) if you see something you think you might like, click on it and read about it's life span, diet, habitat requirements, general care information:

good luck and have fun!

How much rent can you profit from towers example trump tower?
Rey
One of my fathers friend haves a friend who is multi millionaire and he worth about 230 million dollars he wants to build towers for luxury hotels also commercial and residential. Towers like Trump tower also the Empire State building etc.. heard he can make annual profit of 30 million and more.
Answer
How long is a piece of string? Depending on where he builds his tower and the success of his business model, yes, he could possibly make a profit of 30 million annually. If he has no business sense and wades right in without assessing the market properly first, he could make a loss of 30 million annually. I don't own a tower of luxury apartments, but I'm guessing there's a lot more to it than finding some land, building a skyscraper and then watching the millions roll in.
A word of advice to your father's friend's friend; he might like to do more research into how much he can profit than having his friend's friend's son ask a question on Yahoo Answers.
