Oh and there is a real possibility to not being able to walk again properly. Just read your comment again carefully and think about what you wrote. Coming from a non-normie. This forum can really be a echochamber at times.

unbelievably stupid response, possibly one of the dumbest I've seen with regards to LL.

With that said, nearly all prospective patients won’t have $100K of disposable wealth at the age which LL would benefit them the most.

fr im 18 and want to get CLL asap but its near impossible for me to pull together 3k let alone 100k.

You're very young and you have time on your side. Try to get a CS degree at a decent 4-year program or if you can't get the financial aid for that, attend a boot camp that charges tuition only if you get placed, then try and get a few years of experience coding. By the time you're 21-22, shoot for a FAANG job. Entry level SWEs in the Bay Area make $200K/yr total comp. You'll be able to save up quickly for LL, then just work from home while you're lengthening.

Im accepted to college for a CS degree and ill be able to pay for the degree no issue.

I want to be a musician/producer but it simply doesn't pay enough for CLL at least from what ive seen in general unless your absolutely huge. Isn't FAANG pretty hard to get? with 200k a year in the Bay Area I could just live modestly for a year (my lifestyle would prob only cost me 80k a year in the Bay Area I could imagine, I can survive off basically nothing especially if it meant being able to afford CLL)  and then I would be able to go to Paley. From what I saw entry level software engineer only pays 100k which would mean 3 years of saving at least

Yes, it's hard but if you can get an internship during the summer you should be able to line yourself for a good tech job in the bay area. You should be able to hit $160K as an EL out of college ($200K at Google/FB). Of course, some of that is equity so YMMV, but better than doing some other career and not getting any RSUs or options.

My bones don't shatter constantly, weather changes don't cause me pain.  I must be this tall naturally, then.

True. CLL prices are already high because we have a very large demand and a very small supply of qualified orthopedic surgeons. If so many more people weren’t so ignorant, then demand would be even higher, and the high prices would only grow higher.
