Where do you get your finances??
« on: January 01, 2015, 11:43:22 PM »

I am just curious. Thinking of doing internal femurs in France or with Paley but the price puts me off. I could possibly save that much in a year possibly but... I could buy a car with that man, or two cars!

The questions:
So what is your source of financing?
And how old are you?
Which is the more significant source - your savings (which came from your parents or work??) or your parents/relatives/friends/partner??
Why not spend this money on someting else, travel or a car? or even Cosmetic surgery

For me, my $10,000 Russian odyssey was a gift from my girlfriend. She's too kind. But she definitely cannot sponsor me $80,000 to do it in say, Paley or Guichet. The trip has unscheduled expenses of circa $2000-4000, all paid by her too!

My main source of financing is my stripping work.

I am 18 years old.

All of my savings for ll come from my work.

I'd rather be taller than have a nice car or anything else.

I do affiliate marketing online, selling other people's products online as my fulltime job. And now I'm moving out of San Diego (which has great weather but is ridiculously expensive) and moving to texas with much lower cost of living, no state tax, cheaper gas, and, in my opinion, girls that are way more down to earth.


The financial part is the hardest part of all this, in my opinion. I've dealt with pain, have had a couple surgeries in the past, an apendix that nearly exploded inside my body, problems with my eardrums (tubes), adenoid removal. Yeah it'll be painful but I can deal with that, just need the green.


And it's so tempting to want to go to a country like russia and pay wayyyy less, but I'm so scared to mess up my legs for life. Whereas the high price of Paley or Guichet comes with a lot more peace of mind.

A great avantage you have whether you realize it or not is your age. It's very easy to explain away your height as a late growth spurt, if you want.

The pay is great! If you are willing to dance in front of women and men, you'll make an easy $1000 a week. It can be a problem finding work if you're too short, but typically you'll be fine if you are taller than 5'6-5'7.

My financing comes from savings from my service. After I got out I claimed unemployment and got an extra 13,000. I've got enough for external tibias but I'm also getting started in trading stocks hope that'll eventually help me out a bit for internal femurs. Only thing physical I've ever disliked about myself is my height and I already have a car I'm 20yrs old and I'm fine living modestly to save for these procedures.

I am saving but not pretty sure at this point. If I really encourage myself to do it I will ask my father for the money. I can't get a real job and I doubt that with my height I would get a considerable job without a career yet so...

You can get rich with a short stature, and I'm not talking about medical school.

You can get a job at your height, easily. IF you are worried that you'll be turned down due to your height, buy some 2-3 inch lifts to put into your shoes. That'll at least put you at 5'4-5'5.
