Seriously you guys sound like idiots. What you mad Romney isn't president and poor people like myself still get foodstamps? If you really must know . I only work 8-16 a month making 9.10 an hour. Divide that up that's what $36 a week and $103 in stamps a month. Now you got the math please explain how am I supposed to support myself wife and son off of $248 a month and still pay rent light gas and what my new born needs like diapers wipes and formula?
So even you agree that you cannot afford to feed your family but you can afford a ray?...and you call other people idiots? LOL
DUDE...YOU ARE ON FOOD STAMPS FFS!.
It is evident from your original questions that you have not bothered to do any research on rays, basic things you should have thought about before you bought this animal. You take the lazy option of posting a thread that only really reveals how little you know and that you haven't even read the stickies up top.
IME BUYING RAY IS THE CHEAPEST PART. The first ray will eventually cost you an average of around $20 per week, if you factor in all the actual costs, food, utilities, water , tank, filters etc etc., especially food and utilities.
That is over $1000 per year. I wonder what a family with such financial difficulties as yours is in ( as you describe them) could do with an extra $1k per year .......
"how am I supposed to support myself wife and son off of $248 a month and still pay rent light gas and what my new born needs like diapers wipes and formula?".... I would say STOP making impulse buys of expensive fish that you know almost nothing about and thus have a minimal chance of success with.
Now YOU know the math.
Congratulations on your new son. I hope he will bring light and joy and a better understanding of household budgeting into your lives.
ps
politically, for me, Romney was a robot, Obama was my choice , as the lesser of 2 evils, as even he is fairly right of center in global terms, the USA being now one of the most politically right wing countries in the world
