The thing about going into consumer debt for a thing is that debt continues to build and build and it can VERY quickly double, triple, etc in size. In fact, it's designed that way. It's specifically formulated to make it as easy as possible for you to wake up one day and suddenly owe many times more than what you initially spent. You doing nothing but living your life normally and waiting will result in you owing a ton more money.

Or you save up the cash ahead of time, pay the asking price outright, and then you're done.

v:shobon:v

I'm not going to argue for going into extreme debt but I'll pose a different situation. 5 years ago I totaled my car. It was 23 years old, had served me well, and could have been repaired 10 years earlier but the parts to fix it were so hard to find that it was going to cost more than I paid for the car to repair it. I need a car unfortunately because of work and the city I live in having crappy public transportation. So I have a decent job but only a few thousand dollars saved up. At this point, I could buy a used car outright with the money I had saved that wasn't going to last nearly as long as my old car (they literally don't make them like they used to... it was a Honda era 1990 Acura Legend) or I could put a down payment on a new Civic or Fit and pay it off in <3 years, having paid ~1-2k in interest to borrow that money to buy the car. I borrowed the money and bought the car. Granted, my partner and I have steady employment. I still maintain it was the right decision as this car, as newish Hondas tend to, hasn't had a single problem in the 5+ years since I bought it.

My opinion is that it's OK to go into debt as long as you calculate the risk and the need is justified. Applying this to the Lasik problem, I'd say it's probably something that can wait until FAK and KCB are in a more stable situation.

I thought this movie was just a weird boring dream I had as a kid.

There's a title drop during the climax that is even worse than you might imagine.

Manageable debt is a good thing. It's how you build credit.

I am no expert on Lasik, but it's a temporary thing and can have crazy side effects as far as I know. Vision getting worse, dry eyes, pain etc. So aside from the debt it may be smarter to work on the self esteem issue without risking your sight...

i agree with this, they're just stupid pieces of plastic you plop on your face they come in all shapes and sizes. slippery slope, first its 4k on eye surgery then 10k on new tits, man it just won't end after this.

the way my eye doc explained to me was that your eyes will continue to get worse, so you shouldn't do eye surgery until your prescription stops changing very quickly. They recommended it because it had been like 5 years since I went in and my prescription barely changed.

I have a friend who got it around 40 for the same reason and it’s been years and his eyes are still great. However, it was partially covered by insurance and his prescription hadn’t changed in a decade, so obviously ymmv

apparently if you get it after 40, the degeneration is way less than the earlier you get it from that age, and is statistically lower in men. but you can still go in for a correction in the future anyway.

some day i will get lasik surgery and the side-effects be damned, no starburst or glare could be more than what my decade-old lenses give me right now

pro tip eat a bunch of weed cookies before you get on that plane and you won't give half a gently caress

digestion is your natural THC time-release. if you time it right the plane will be taking off as it hits, and if you eat just the right amount, you'll be straight enough to go through customs without acting like a stoner by the time you land!

but if you eat too much, your eyes will be bloodshot as hell when customs takes your photo for entry...

Yeah, 4 or so months ago I said sexualizing minors in cartoons is a bad thing so someone got mad and bought a red text accusing me of abusing my fiancee. Then someone else bought me this pink text that makes about as much sense as what the original red text said.
