I guess I’m lucky, most of what I’d do would be cosmetic since I don’t have many health issues that aren’t cosmetic (at least not ones that have working medical cures yet that I can buy, but I’m assuming that is the case for a lot of people here. People have medical issues but there are no cures no matter how much money you have). I would have my teeth straightened and capped. Obesity surgery (this would have both cosmetic and health benefits). Hair transplants. Laser eye surgery.
Aside from that, I would get a medical condition I’m trying to control via physical therapy fixed surgically. And I would have a lot more massages, hire a cook and whatever other medical interventions help with stress and quality of life. Aside from that, no idea. All these things combined would be 100k or less.
I would like to visit a neuroscience institute that focuses on quality of life. I can’t remember the names of any, but there is one in Arizona. Letting them examine my brain and build a treatment protocol to increase my moods would be ok.
17m can mean 17,000 in which case 17MM would mean 17,000,000. In roman notation “m” is 1000 and MM is 1,000 sets of 1,000. In metric notation it would be 17k and 17m, respectively.
I’d like to defer this until I’m older. I’m only 28, in good general health with good teeth and skin, and look youthful. But I’ve had minor joint trouble my whole life (have mostly avoided injuries so far) and have a family history of brain aneurysm, autoimmune issues and awful joints and backs. I’m probably going to have some problems in 30 years.
The only cosmetic procedure I’d want is laser hair removal, I’m tired of shaving.
Out of curiosity, was this thread started because in the US, $500,000 is about what a person will spend on healthcare over their entire life (about 75-95 years on average)? Or was that a coincidence?
That’s what I got . . . until the uppers somehow got infected and failed. More money to have them removed, and now I’ve got a denture. The lowers are good, so far.
As for me, there is no part of my body that doesn’t need fixing. $500,000 would only scratch the surface.
LASIK for my eyes, the rest on two years of a personal trainer and private cook - aside from really bad eyesight genes, there’s nothing wrong with me that couldn’t be fixed by diet and exercise.
I suppose I’d cancel my health insurance for those two years. Save a chunk of money that could be spent on non-health things, plus I’d probably be able to get a better rate when i come back after two years of exercise and good diet.
