Are you serious...people can't afford laser eye surgery or plastic surgery because they aren't willing to work their asses off and buy expensive luxuries? How about it's expensive and most people don't have thousands of dollars to spend on cosmetic surgeries, regardless of how hard they're working at their job.
Lol who has 18,400 dollars to spend on that kind of stuff.
Well I haven't gotten rhinoplasty and cosmetic laser mole removal yet but I have already spent on other stuff. I got it done because they affected me in a very negative way. I guess it is about priorities, for example, I don't pay for a TV subscription and I don't buy more clothes than I need to, so I gotta save the money to improve my appearance. And believe it or not, getting rid of the glasses + the weird shaped teeth already has already helped a lot. I want to spend the money because it would make me happy, it would make life easier for me. And the money can be saved by no vacations, no more new clothes, no more movie tickets and TV, plus lots of hard work for a year or two.
And most people CAN save an additional $18,400, how about adding evening and weekend part-time jobs? The only excuse is that the person does not want the money bad enough and is not willing to do the extra work or the person is unable to work due to illnesses or disabilities.
Of course anyone is free to choose what they think are more important to spend the money on. I am just suggesting this solution to OP because it seems to seriously affect his self esteem. Real ugly people who are not overweight are considered ugly generally because they have facial abnormalities which can be fixed by modern technologies, at least that was my case. I don't regret a single cent I have spent on my appearance, and I hope OP can fight for whatever he wants as well!:)
Do you pay rent, pay your utilities, buy your own food, pay for a phone, a car, car insurance ect? Lol my boyfriend is 32 and has worked various full time jobs and he's never had 18,400 at a time. Lol and he's never been in a position to afford 'vacations' let along going out and buying a bunch of new clothes all the time. When I met him he didn't even have a bed. Lol most people would be extremely lucky to make 18,400 in a year let alone save up that much extra after all their bills and living costs are taken care of.
I mean good for you being able to afford all that I suppose, but most people simply don't have that much money at one time ever, and aren't in a situation they could save that much in a reasonable amount of time even if they do work as many hours as they can get. I think it would make a good case to expand medicaid to cover that kind of thing like if there really is a problem like crooked teeth or things are misshapen not just cause they want a different look.
Also though I still say until the O.P posts a picture, there is no way to know how ugly they even are...they might just think that.
Let me do the calculation for you, assuming the person only works 50hr per week, 52 weeks per year, at just above minimum wage in ontario, they would make 50*52*12=31200 per year. And if they really want the money, they should work 70 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, and be a really decent worker so they at least get 15/hr, which would give them 70*52*15=54600 per year. Assuming the person does not spend heavily on other stuff, they should be able to save up 20K in two years...... Your reasoning that most people can't save up that much money even if they are in a western country and work really hard and is not severely disabled or disadvantaged is just plain wrong. And please provide additional information on how come your bf work various full time jobs yet can't afford a bed unless he is not in a country with decent minimum wage or he does very poorly in work or your definition of full time is different from mine.
Seriously, I know people who attend university full time while working full time jobs. Humans have immense potential if they really set their minds up to something, please don't assume other humans can't do what you can't... No offence though, but the sentiment that people should just suck up whatever problems they are not satisfied with themselves or expect government to pay for their dreams really make me feel annoyed as so many other people and I are willing to do everything in our power to become who we want to become.
