This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yep. Once upon a time, you had to be very wealthy to own a car.

Now it's horses.

I doubt that owning horses has ever been cheap either.

Eh, it probably wasn't bad back when everyone had them. If you were a farmer, you already had pasture for your horses to graze on, and you could trade some food w/ the local vet for medical bills. Also, since you probably needed multiple, you probably bred them with your neighbors, making replacement cost really low.

That sounds like a huge cost, though less money is used to abstract it.
