Might just abandon my surgery plans and focus on reaching an early NEET retirement

[Acquiescence]

I don’t think I can take much more of the wageslave life

Dropping 10s of thousands on surgery would be a brutal setback to my finances. Years of savings eviscerated just like that

And honestly what would it even be for, I’m too old, too broke, too physically and mentally ill, too spiritually crushed to even fully benefit from better looks (which aren’t even guaranteed from surgery of course)

Atp I just want to rot in peace for the rest of my days, that’s the closest thing to a happy ending I’m likely to get

I’ll still do softmaxxes on a very basic level, like basic self care, skincare, and hair loss meds, just so I don't become a sub3 monstrosity

But it’s probably best to let go of the fantasy of ascension, needless self-torture…

You’re getting a bit schizo, one minute it’s genio only, then it’s OBO, now it’s early retirement. I know how this feels.

What I can say is that surgery money is a tiny fucking drop in the ocean compared to early retirement money. Especially with how overpriced the markets are right now, returns can expected to be very low. If you can’t save $50k for OBO then how the fuck do you expect to save $500k (which most people would say is NOT ENOUGH and can only safely provide a $20k annual income in any case).

I’m in a very similar position as you know, and my take is that if I don’t get my surgeries I WILL rope before I can accumulate enough to retire on - it’s just too far away and too much pointless suffering.

Whereas if I do get my surgeries then I might at least have enough of a quality of life improvement to be able to continue. If not, I’ll rope anyway.

24, which some might say is still young but imo once you’re out of school and start working full time it all blurs together and there’s no going back to what once was

No argument here, I really do need to just pick a path and STFU

It’s not so much strictly about the saving up aspect of it, that’s just a matter of time and grinding it out, it’s rather sustaining the effort of working 9-5 for X number of years vs Y number of years

I’m basically halfway there for OBO + implants at 25k right now, but it’s been hell and knowing that pulling the trigger on surgery will pretty much completely reset the clock on retirement savings is brutal. Although as you mentioned in the end it’s probably not that much of a difference anyway, drop in the ocean and all. Which I suppose brings us to what you said further:

I do largely agree, but damn is it tough at times to weigh the theoretical benefits of surgery gone right vs the very real “wellness” I feel during the small windows I get to rot jfl

Tl;dr is I just need to embrace the suck of wagie life and stick to a surgery plan. Getting redundant to keep whining about it

Dietmaxxing and escaping wageslavery is more important than spending your life savings on impressing sub 5 whores.

You only get 1 life. 1 chance. What will you have preferred to have chosen on your deathbed looking back at your life?

 

[iblamemandible7]

Bro you said you're hardmaxxing within the next couple years, if I were you I would send it, the earlier and quicker you ascend the better the ROI will be

Easier said than done ofc but still

Late 20s is not too late at all if you're aware of the agepill and take the proper steps

Whichever choice leads to the least amount of pain and wasted effort, but that’s the million dollar question now is it

Surgery is cope bhai

As far as anti-aging goes I have a pretty solid grasp of what needs to happen yeah, it’s possible to look good in later 20s and even 30s

And as to hardmaxxing yeah of course. And it’s very easy to say it and be 100% gung-ho (from my pov btw, not accusing you of anything) when you’re flat ass broke and it’s a total pipe dream. But now that I have a bit of money and could even get a smaller procedure right now if I wanted (RSM and some other users convinced me it’s better to combine procedures though), knowing exactly how much time and effort goes into it all sours the mood by a lot

Let’s get to 50k first I suppose

 

[XazaqazaX]

Paying hard earned thousands of dollars to get a better face to only turn dust in the end, brutal

Yea I get it bro it's fs easier said than done and this is serious shit ofc

Just my perspective, get an objective look at how much roi you'll get for the money, then think about it

Don't let the dream die, sometimes a little cope is necessary in life

Im 24 too and by the time braces are finished, I will do the surgery with Raffaini at 24-25
I know for sure that I will kms if I don’t do the surgery, money comes and goes we don’t give a fuck about this, I graduated from a top tier school and I am in a very good internship so I won’t struggle that much with finding work etc
