In reply to Moneybee.

Ahhhh yeah – could possibly be that too! And I’m sure the pollsters don’t purposely make it too clear so they get juicier results, haha…

Huh – hadn’t thought about that before, but you’re right – people will always take care of their pets no matter what’s going on! Apparently better than themselves sometimes!

I was also thinking that: maybe people interpreted the question as “Is it reasonable to retire on lottery winnings?” rather than “It is reasonable to plan on winning the lottery?”

I’m drinking more mead than last year, I *must* be some type of hipster!

I love the stats–okay, I hate some of the stats because it’s just financially SAD but I love statistics in general.

Off to disinfect my cards…

My heart hurts just a little reading the Stash survey results. Although, in Millenials’ defense, I suppose if you DID win the lottery, and you knew how to invest properly, retiring on that money is a reasonable option. Somehow, it never seems to work out that way though. And about this craft beer – are you some type of hipster or something? ;)

I jumped ship from the bicycle biz and got a job with a veterinary software company in 2007, just before the economy fell apart. It was a stroke of good luck — this industry is nearly recession-proof. People tend to take care of their pets regardless of what comes their way; as much as I personally profit from it, it does make me feel a little better about humanity.

In reply to Kate. Health insurance and rampant credit cards probably :( I hear it's a lot harder to get them in other countries and not used as much?? (Not in the UK, but in places like France and others)

Why would anyone NOT be drinking more craft beer with the options available?
