Star is definitely a "10" on the adorable pup cuteness scale! 🐶

Advice from an old guy here: Beware of vets. Many are being bought up by huge corporations and the costs are becoming outrageous. Small/indie vets often provide good care at more reasonable costs. Next is running for exercise. Enjoy when younger but find other means for exercise as you age. Our bodies are not meant to run for miles every day and it will catch up to you with bad knees and hips later in life. Finally, cars. Some manufactures claim lifetime coolant or super long duration transmission fluid. Never! Always have these changed periodically or risk major repairs in the future.

Timely! I’ve been debating adopting a dog after losing my best furry friend in 2023. Going to the shelter this afternoon. Thank you! ❤

This was a great video, Austin. I love to see your sense of humor shining through your videos.

A good mattress is a good one as well. I like animals better than people so Star is a ten in my book.

Despite numerous efforts and many videos watched on frugality, money escapes me. Expenses keep piling up. But I still believe in it. Say hello to your dog, Star. 10/10 of cuteness.

10 out of 10 for Star, just to mention something about what you said about a dog being expensive, my wife and I discussed this yesterday, we believe our dog is saving us money because she has changed our habits, long walks ( exercise, no gym membership) plus we would normally eat out somewhere or spend money shopping, instead we out in nature going for long walks and packing a lunch, we also invest in a good monthly payment plan which covers most of her vet fees , a dog I believe is a good investment as it can change your lifestyle habits for the better.

¡Hola El Agustín! I really enjoyed this video! Totally agree on YT Premium, good sheets and a well-decorated home. Some time ago when I was much younger and my independent life had just started, I was running some errands when I came across this beautiful gray sofa bed at a department store. Beautiful design, clean lines, great materials. I checked the price tag: it was about 2 months of my salary back then. I started saving money to get it, and even put the photo I found at the store's website as my screensaver at work for a bit of motivation. My coworkers saw it, asked for the price, then started whinning about how expensive it was and how I could get a much cheaper one elsewhere. The thing lasted for some months until I got the money and bought the freaking thing. It's been 11 years and I'm still looking at this beautiful sofa still in great condition sitting on my study room. It was a huge investment at that time but it's worth every penny.

Star is definitely a 10, especially is she give you Love, and unconditional acceptance. I need an emotional support animal and would like to get a small to medium doggy like you have. When I was growing up, we always had dogs and cat, I never remember having to take our pets to the Vet constantly. Usually they got whatever shots they needed when we adopted them, they didn't seem to get sick all the time like cats and dogs do now. I think the pet food is causing all the cancer and other problems animals seem to have today. My Father was raised on a farm. The dogs never went to the Vet unless they got worms or something. The ate dog food and scraps left over from dinner. Those dogs lived to be like 20 years or more. Times sure have changed.

I wouldn’t recommend “Express” as it is rather expensive. I would recommend “Uniqlo” they are a Japanese clothing brand which specializes in high quality essentials at a reasonable price compared to other stores such as “H&M” and “Zara”. A plain shirt usually goes for $20-$25 depending on the style you choose, trust me you won’t buy clothes anywhere else.

I bulk prepare and freeze meal portions. With a second freezer, I easily have six to eight weeks of high-quality, nutritionally balanced, properly-portioned meals. Thus, on a day I don't feel like cooking, reminding myself that I only have 60 to 90 seconds of microwaving, keeps me from eating out more than two or three times a month. Saves money and makes the correct diet part of physical fitness much easier.

Duckerations are necessary!! Your home should comfort you and showcase the things you love and find beautiful. If you work from home, its even more important. I think it is a part of wellness, it impacts your mental health!

I use a low end Oral B and have been for years. I've also used a Sonicare previously. Dentists tend to know the patients who use them compared to those who don't. My dentist commented after a few seconds in my mouth, "You use an electric toothbrush, don't you?"

On a scale of 1 to 10 - STAR is an absolute 10! She is smart, loving, loyal, playful, beautiful, confident and polite. I had a german sheperd mix as a young adult and they are very loving and loyal! Plus Star loves her Daddy! I actually have a cat named "Star". She is very loving and smart.

Hi El Agustin, I do resonate with your choices. I have a cat, I love good sheets, like to occasionally dine at cafes and restaurants, I find good quality clothing and shoes can really last, I do like Apple computers - as do many IT professionals. I tend to buy nice notebooks rather than buy a whiteboard. I love international travel, it is a luxury, but if you live in a good country, it can make you appreciate your home even more and enrich you with cultural and geographic experiences. I like to drink tea and coffee, so having great teapots that have nice designs and efficiently brew tea, and coffee implements, are a must. As I like notebooks, I would like to own a Montblanc fountain pen in the future. Fountain pens can be a world of fun and collecting! A decent hifi, music and movie collection saves me streaming fees - I am old fashioned that way. I still manage to enjoy great YouTube videos and creators like you with just the standard YouTube offering.

Star is definitely a 10! The value that dogs bring into my life is priceless! I love your videos - Thank You!

I recently purchased linen pillowcases and one large linen queen flat sheet. Expensive but I love them and I value good comfortable sleep.

[LoneRoseDE]

Star is a 10....and you are so cute introducing him...been watching your videos for awhile now and really enjoy them

[andyaptc]

comfortable quality shoes and bed/sheets a big priority for me, another feel good is a leather car interior (any car) smells great when you get in and ride.

The dog is adorable! Our pets are lovable and they don't argue with us!!!
