Money

Hi guys, I'm a long time lurker on this forum but I've recently decided I'd like some advice on money.

I'm absolutely desperate for this surgery but going to a reputable doctor costs so much money which has left me feeling more dejected than ever. I'm a second year university student so obtaining $100K seems like an insurmountable challenge right now.

I really want to get this surgery as soon ad possible to get the most out of my youth. It's not even about relationships for me but simply doing normal things in life such as going to a night club without being judged or going to gym without people telling me I'm compensating. I even have to be conscious of the shoes I buy as buying a pair with too big a heel results in the typical 'he's insecure' comments.

I would like to know ways of making money quickly. I believe once I get the ball rolling my height neurosis will subside a lot.

Thanks for any advice guys ☺

Dude you're already of good height... My height neurosis has gotten to the point where humour doesn't help.Literally every aspect of my life is judged on my height. Even getting a first in the first year of university was downplayed by most as people told me I was compensating.

Although if you've got work for me... Lol

Hi Apoplectic!

You should consider pulling out a loan.  Work 2 jobs if you have to and save up for a good sized down payment. You'll probably want to put at least $30,000 down if you are planning on using one of the United States doctors.

How tall are you?

I'm 5ft 4 ot just over at 20 years old.
I'm not sure how I'd pull out a loan as my family is poor and I live in the UK.
I could try working a job however I'm doing a physics/engineering degree so making time would be an enormous issue

Let me guess. You are American ?

I'm british but I hope to go with paley as from the diaries I've read his patients have the best recovery overall. Earning money in the UK is extremely difficult as living costs are sky high. I understand there's many young people here who want this surgery so I thought this would be the best place to ask about obtaining the necessary funds

Okay, I understand.  I'm actually thinking about this subject quite a bit for CLL'ers.   Money is such an obstacle for many out there who are great candidates for CLL.   I'll keep you posted on if I can come upon or figure out a more direct and clear money strategy to financing this procedure.

Hope all is well otherwise! Talk soon,

Thank you man any advice is helpful.
There's no greater curse in this world than being a short man lol

unfortunately in cases like ours .. (not wealth) the only way is to work 1 or 2 years to put something aside and thanks to the pay slips (payslips) to ask for a loan from a bank or financial .. certainly given the young age for example, you can ask for 50000 euros spread over 30 years .. a bit like a mortgage on a house.
I am 28 years old and I think I will go to Giotikas after the summer of 2020. the time to get to 25000 euros and ask for a loan from the bank of 35000 euros .. with 60000 euros I should stay inside without problems putting in even the complications and unexpected.
