People that write "fianc" instead of "fiance" are the worst.
this is a Texags thing. For whatever reason their 1999 era encoding that doesn't allow special characters.



Example: I am pasting the word "fianc" but when I hit Post, the end result will be "fianc"

You want us to help you pay $5600 for your cat's kidney stone surgery?

This one might be good

How the hell does it cost that much? Both my dogs had surgery on Thursday (1 to be spayed and the other to remove a cancer tumor) and it cost 1200

Is it possible this thread may have beaten the thread by Hayley C who was shamelessly soliciting the GB to pay her Aggie ring after her arrest?

Yes. Yes, I think it does.

According to their Reddit posting, they're doing fine financially…

Outside of 15% into my 401k and ~$100/week into my Roth I prioritize $1000 into a HYSA. At the end of the month if my HYSA is over $12k I throw it into another S&P500 investment account. I still enjoy life and vacation 2-3 times a year with one vacation being international.

I make around $80k and engaged. Once we're married we will restructure.

We always do 1 US state and 1 European country a year. We're doing an Alaskan cruise next year and from what I've heard they're amazing, but we've never cruised.

We'll finish seeing all the states for my fiancs 30th birthday and then start doing Asian/Europe splits.

"More money than sense" exists as an idiom for a reason and was proven twice by the OP. Once by paying that much to save a cat. Again by creating this thread.

Speaking of cats, last I heard, Rufus was spending the night at the vet. How is he doing these days?

That dummy is just fine. He basically had an upset stomach.

Where's that gofundme link for the "Rufus night at the vet" stay?

It was almost as much as the OP, more than $4K. We were leaving for a two week trip to Scotland the next day so we went ahead and had everything done right then. Xray, blood work, ultrasound, etc. They gave him fluids, antibiotics, appetite stimulant, and kept him overnight. Then my MIL stayed at our place and watched him for the next week making sure he got his meds.

Was it expensive? Yes
Could we have saved some money on his bills if we had waited till it wasn't the weekend and after hours? Also yes.

But we would have spent twice that by delaying our trip and rearranging our flights, stays, etc. We were also pretty confident that he was going to be fine. He just looks really stupid with a giant rectangle shaved on either side of his stomach.

A lot of people will think it's insane to spend that on a cat and I get it. But we don't have kids and our pets are part of our family. We are fortunate enough to be able to swing a bill like that. But there was a time where we didn't have that kind of money. We still would have made it work. I can't think of a single vet that doesn't have a payment plan option for stuff like that.

Anyways here's some pics of that dummy

If you take a deep dive into his Reddit posts, I think we might actually have mfbarnes 2.0 on our hands.

Page after page of new threads asking for advice about having the wedding in several high-end locations, all sorts of "Hey, I've got this much of this stock, when should I sell it" posts, car flexes for him and the fianc, and multiple posts about him and her "getting into" high-end wine, tequila, whiskey and wanting advice. Also humblebrags about a trip to Vegas.

Either Barnes 2.0 or about $150,000 deep in credit-card debt.

This honestly infuriates me.

So is the reddit really the same idiot on here that started this thread? Doesn't deserve to even be called an Aggie, if true.

Just looking at their posting history, it's obvious they are not in any difficult financial position yet can't stop being a bunch of immature little babies that can't fend for themselves.

Just noticed the OP put their phone number in a number of their posts in the ticket exchange forum. LOL

.... It is also very interesting that pretty much all of their posts on here have been regarding selling their season football tickets.

The user has the exact same post about the cat on Reddit that they posted here. I followed them on Reddit and things unraveled from there.

Rufus looks like the cat that made friends with our cat. Our cat has never made a friend, so we were really surprised when another cat showed up at our back door last Thursday night with him. Then on Friday night, a light gray cat showed up with Rufus looking cat, and our cat got in a fight with the light gray cat. But they settled their differences, or decided they were too fat and old to fight anymore. The other cats haven't been back.

Fascinating. I know!

Affluent enough to give away Astros season tickets to the poor but cannot replenish savings after cat surgery. And the creepy threat…

I don't think they're trolling. I really think they're just that irresponsible. They had a Reddit post asking how to split costs for a shared hotel room and cabana. Lacking some basic math skills.

This whole situation is going to warrant an oral history or a 30 for 30 in the future. Because when you revisit the GoFundMe page, you also notice that the headline is a total lie. It reads

Help Hayes Recover After Emergency Surgery

Hayes doesn't need any help recovering. The vet gave him his pills and he's blitzed out of his mind right now. Hayes isn't the one getting married and he sure as hell didn't just put $5,600 on his Kitty Kredit Kard.

It all just seemed very scammy from the beginning. It wouldn't surprise me if they created a fake GFM campaign because they want money for a vacation or something.

GFY (Go Fund Yourself)

I've thought this would be a great name for a website / app to create that specializes in giving really tiny amounts to awful Go Fund Me pages, like doing it in obscure foreign currencies or abandoned crypto.

I tried to donate 96 cents (whoop) to the cat relief fund, but it won't let you do less than $1. Go Fund Yourself would need protocol to get around that.

OP sounds like an insufferable humble bragger based on the reddit posting.

Sorry OP, you may have to give up one of your 3 annual vacations or sell more of your Astros tickets to recoup the cat's surgery.

To panhandle while simultaneously flexing on another board is disgusting.

Your cat deserves better.
