It depends how many u want. I don't know how old u are. But if you are old enough to babysitter or now lawns, to get some money to pay for the expence,maybe then you could do it. Seeing how your dad is unemployed right now its probably a better idea if u don't just weight till he goes back to work. 2 or 3 shouldn't cost that much to raise, if you.are old enough to get some cash on ur own.
