I need some reassurance here..

[mumps]

because someone wants to look at the economic side of breeding that automically means there in it for the wrong reasons???

how judgmental and narrow in your thinking can you be???

to the OP welcome aboard!

I can understand this sort of reaction due to the way the post was entered. The OP is "looking for reassurance" that they have not spent a lot of money for nothing. They are worried that after all their "investing", they won't be rolling in bucks in another year.

Looking at the economic side as a positive possible "bonus" to keeping the animals you love is one thing, but posting on a forum for "reassurance" that you've done the right thing monetarily is quite another.
