The young ones on here who weren't born to wealthy parents or making 7 figures off modeling would all like to understand the options and HEAR the experiences of others who have funded these expensive procedures with all forms of legal tender. For the adults on here to ignore this is not paying it forward. I'm sure that many of you 20 year olds would like to know what you 40 year olds did to get the ball in motion.
Not all of us are going to want to wait 8 years saving for this just to have nothing. I am planning on saving half and getting a loan for the rest. Hell I will have this done before 30 if im paying it off till im 50. At least my mental state will improve.
Start paying it forward people. The only person who did is the OVERRIDEYOURGENETICS guy who goes cold on many people
Financing Options - Stop avoiding this people
How much did you take out?
Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on October 17, 2019, 04:11:36 PMMy experience was that I took out big, high-interest loans to pay for LL. I spent several years making payments and paid down about half of the debt. Then I lost my job and declared bankruptcy. 
How Much did you take out in loans? Are you still wrecked in life because of this... i just think its important to understand the impact in its entirety
Quote from: soitchi on October 18, 2019, 02:34:29 AMOh, and he wants you and everyone else on this board to push the idea of getting a loan.
I just think it's healthy for all options to be thoroughly provided to those who are looking to achieve the surgery
Quote from: Infinity on October 18, 2019, 04:19:18 PMhas anyone thought that if you loose your job or some complications happen and you wont be able to get back to work as quickly as you planned? This is not a surgery you do by borrowing or mortgaging your house.
I appreciate the sentiment behind OP's post, which was probably to help/motivate and provide another option but IMO loaning huge amounts of money to do such a high risk surgery is a very BAD idea.
Okay so I honestly don't care who does get a loan for this surgery, the only reason I made it an important topic of discussion is because there are many who find money to be a limiting factor. For me I totally get that things could go wrong....my hope and goal would be to do Stride and get back to work on crutches in 3-4 weeks...
I also would like to say im not suggesting or planning to loan 100k to afford the surgery.. of course I would ideally like to save up 60-70% of the cost and then take a loan out for the rest. I don't know if anyone thinks this is adequete but its definitely part of my plan
But I wouldn't want to loan out the entire cost of course not, and def not promoting that!
has anyone loaned out some of the cost and been successful aka not tanked and gone bankrupt
Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on October 18, 2019, 09:18:57 PMAlmost $30,000 in 2007 money if you count the plane tickets I bought with my credit cards. Bad credit will hurt some people more than others, depending on what they go on to do in life. It doesn't affect me much, but it might cause severe problems for you, so think about the risks.
Alright well you were also in 2007.... I think the moral of the story is it is now 2019 and the TECH is Up^^^^ I mean the major game changer is Stryde and the fact that you can fully weight bear on it. Maybe that 30k wouldn't have messed you up so bad if you had been able to get back to work faster...
The reality is now that with Stryde LL patients can get back to work in a months time - sometimes even less. It'll definitely have it's challenges but when we talk about financing we must factor in the New VS Old obstacles
Alright but honestly just because you got height surgery doesnt mean you should get fired 
.... I know how work can be though...maybe its best to prepare to just chill for a while.... certainly you can get unemployment while you're lengthening
I think the worst cost about this surgery is the time cost and the missed opportunity cost.... Maybe I'll write a book while I'm lengthening
