    Oh, the mental health boost would be 1000000000000000000000000% there. But I know that on top of regular food I need to have an emergency fund for vet visits, etc, and just wondering if it’s a wise financial decision if I’ll be cutting my earnings (reducing my work hours) to study, not long after a period of already eating into my savings from unemployment and then travel and a car.

    I also am not home a lot of the time and wonder if that’ll be good for the cat. At least having a WFH setup means that now even if I need to do a late day at work I can come home and finish off what’s needed and still feed kitty on time.

    I will see what study leave options I can utilise at work to balance it all out. The truth is, on a single income, it’ll just take a rent hike to throw a lot of these plans in disarray. As much as I love cats I do not want to touch my savings again in order to afford having one…
