An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
Ezyan said: Are you serious about the cosmetic Surgery? I feel like I should applaud you for having it last on your list, but the fact you are even considering it automatically Negates any congratulatory feelings on my behalf. Okay, I get that you're 22; you're young and Vain enough to care about your Weight, stretch marks, Cellulite, whatever, it's a Girl thing.
But in all honesty I can't say I condone plastic Surgery. It costs a lot of Money and working in coding and as a receptionist (and paramedic if you get your certificate), I reckon that by the time you move out of your neighbourhood (at least $400k for a decent neighbourhood), save up for Zoe's School Fees (working on the assumption Private School Fees are about $10k/yr where you are, and that's CHEAP where I come from. That's another $60k if you start her there in High School, more if you start in Primary) & College Fees (I don't know what College Fees are like in the US but I hear they are noooooot Cheap) at the very least, you're going to be at least 40, probably closer to 50, by the time you have the Money for your Surgery.
Unless you get her father back in the picture, but from what you've said I don't think you two are going to work out and he probably won't be getting a job that pays huge salaries (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just inferring from what you've said previously), so you're probably not going to be able to depend on him very much.
By that time, I don't think it's worth it. You might as well Save up and buy yourself a rocking chair and a warm quilt, coz that's gonna be a lot more comfortable for your arthritis in Old age.
Isn't this a little slap to the face.
Fortunately, I do my research before I decided to do anything.
Yes I'm serious about cosmetic surgery. Vain isn't the issue, so of course you wouldn't know my reasons behind it. There are different types of cosmetic surgery, ranging from liposuction to abdominoplasty, and each price differs from doctor to doctor. The doctor I go to is my nutritionist and he also does cosmetic surgeries, tummy tucks and liposuction. I'm an established patient of his so the prices differ from me than a new patient. From that, he charges his establish patients a little less than 2,000 dollars for either procedure. Which is a steal to other places. Yes he's licensed and even owns his own medical office. He's also flexible with payment plans with those who are unable to pay all at once.
I'm not working as a receptionist, that's not what I do. Medical Billing and Coding Specialist. There's a BIG difference from the two, like a medical receptionist make 20,000 annually as appose to Medical Billing and Coding Specialist which they make, on average 30-35,000 annually. As for being a paramedic, they are not far behind with 5-10,000 more, depending where you work. Even still, I plan to further my education in the health/medical/medicine field.
Now, it's just me and my daughter so a one bedroom apartment would suffice. I don't need a house to be happy. However, having a home away from this mess would be greater than any house, or gated-community. If I play my cards right, after cleaning up my credit, I could live in an apartment that ranges from 600-1,000 a month. Which is not at all that bad.
As for my daughter's education, there are public charter schools that offers equivalent excellence in education as that of private/catholic schools. And even still some cost a little less than 10,000/yr, or even free. Depend on the location and the slot on the registration list, which my daughter is already listed. Saving up for my daughter's college is better to do now than later. You see... saving 50-200 a month for a year and times that by 20, she'll have enough for at least one year of college, depending on where she goes, or even if she decides to go. There are also student financial aids and scholarships to fill in the gaps. When it comes to college, I will no longer be responsible financially for my daughter. Back when I was in college I worked and paid for my education. Now you see, most people don't know that if you work for the school first, may it be cleaning, security guard, administrative assistant, etc. anything with having to do in the school's property. The school pays your tuition as long as you remain a staff on their payroll. Not only that. The staff's children are able to go to school for free.
Even though, If her father is back in the picture, it'll be a few month hundred dollars a month. Which is ok by me, but I'm not depended of him as most mothers are to their baby's fathers. If he wants to support, I'll let him support. If not, then hell have to stay the hell out of my way. And sure, we may or may not work things out, but that doesn't mean I'll deny the man to be apart of his little girl's life. That just wouldn't be human.
So by the time everything is said and done, I'll have my cake and eat it two. And I guess I'll be a sexy ass grandmother in my rocking chair and warm quilt in my "OLD AGE".
A little piece of advise, do not critic what you don't understand. I decided not to go into full details of my plans because I feel as though is doesn't and it shouldn't matter to everyone else. However, for you to say such 'harsh' things and try to put me down like that... it's not going to work. This is why smart people plan ahead, even for a rainy day, so they don't have to fuck up what they're trying to achieve.
