hi people of this forum, I'm just wondering how most of you afford your LL as it seems very expensive and it seems like you have to be upper middle class to even afford it, I'm also asking, how much did you pay and was it worth it, I'm personally not interested in LL but I have a friend who is, thanks for reading this.

A lot of people do their LL in China/India/Egypt where the cost can be anywhere from $20,000-50,000. In America, this is almost the price of a new car.

Many people get loans max out their credit cards. You can also refinance, take out from your 401k, etc..

Overall, the cost is not an issue. This is a one time major event that is guaranteed to have a positive impact on your life. For men, it is the best and most effective possible cosmetic surgery and could even be considered an investment on your overall life and happiness.

Hi all, new to this forum but have been reading it for nearly 2 months. Anyhow, I've also pondered this question, I mean having CLL in India, China, Russia is one thing where you'll pay, at most, $40,000 (US) but having it done in Europe and USA where it is easily between $75-100,000 (US)   How do you guys afford LL?   , I mean the majority of people on this forum are in their early twenties and i would assume not yet established financially. If you guys and gals are willing (please), could you offer some insight on how you managed to procure your finances to have CLL, I'm sorry if this seems a bit nosy and rude but I'm just genuinely curious and anxious to learn as much as I can about the people and mechanics of LL. Cheers!

Yay! I'm part of the team!

some jobs pay more than others.
100 000 $/ a year for IT-consultant is normal in developed countries.

The finance is not the issue, but other things like:
-Will I ever be normal again
-How can I do this surgery without anyone close getting suspicious
etc.

I have the same problem,20 years old student. I live in cheap county(BIH) where averge salary is about 300-400e. My parents have company,so they  can earn about 2000-3000e per month. One time i ask they what they think about surgery, they they didn't even want to hear about. So i hope that i will earn that money before dr Mitkovic retire.
It's much easier for guys that leave on western countries.

Around $15,000 plus expenses. Everything together was around $23,000 for me.

Paid in cash with my savings. Still had enough left over in cash to do a second LL with Paley, which was why I was comfortable paying Guichet's high price.

If I do tibias in the future, I'd look for a more economical option. The only problem with me is the time commitment, at this point. We'll see what the future holds.
