I'm 26 and have nowhere near the 100K require to afford that surgery.
How can guys here afford the surgery so young?
If I had the money I'd do it, but I'll probably have to wait many more years before I can which will reduce the number of years I'll enjoy my gains.

I work in tech and have 3 remote jobs. Lot of people I talked to also seemed to have tech/remote jobs as well, but I have seen some people that do crazy stuff to finance their surgery like one guy getting 6 credit cards and capping themselves with credit loans.

They get it done someplace cheaper.

I need very little to be happy, I have a cheap studio apartment. I have not had the surgery yet but am well on my way to my goal of 80k. I cook my own meals, brew my own coffee. I have removed almost all my subscriptions. There’s a bunch of stuff in my life that I realized was really adding up that was totally unnecessary. I have an app that tracks my savings and expenses. I became a bartender a year ago. The starting pay was maybe 35k a year, but I actively worked on improving my skills, appearing more professional, and being more friendly. I am constantly looking to climb the ladder for quality of bar I work in and therefore pay. There are so many bartenders who just stay comfortable at their intro level bar. I’m now making a little over 50k a year and steadily climbing. I DoorDash on the days where I have free time which adds another couple of grand a year. I don’t know what your job situation is, but I think the key is to live minimal and try to climb the ladder in whatever job you are working or switch to a job that allows you to grow.

I just wanted to say I really appreciate your grind and wish more people had that attitude.

at age 18 ive been trying to figure out how to afford this for months... I have many ideas and as soon as im done with college ill either be close to my goal already or be about to get a nice job in Tech. I don't need many possessions or anything or much space so with a nice job like that it should only take me 1-2 years to save up the about 75k that I want to save.

Took me 5 years out of college and living under my means to pay for it. Save the money, borrow 1/2 of what you have from a loan company like Lightstream or care credit. Live off what you have in the bank and make monthly payments on the loan. At least that’s what I did…

I was thinking about doing this once I’m out of college. Save half, finance the other half. There are places in the US where it’s cheaper than 100k, OP. If you can find someone to stay with that should cut down on housing/travel expenses.
