[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in the camp of: If you feel crappy about some part of yourself, then get it fixed. It's not some risky slippery slope to a codeine addiction, and it doesn't mean you need therapy.

All that said, I'm surprised no one has asked OP yet if she works, or if that $275k hhi is all or primarily her DH's income.  In the DC area, a breast lift will definitely cost more than $5000 from a good doctor.  So let's say it ends up being $8000.  It fits within the household budget, probably, but it's not chump change either.  I'm not of the mindset that non-working spouses don't get to participate in household financial decisions.  But this is a lot of money that her DH has to work hard for, and clearly not where he anticipated his money going.  I think the working spouse should be able to veto such a large financial decision that they don't think is at all important. I think the answer changes if they are both making $150k and there's room in the budget. Or if her DH makes all $275k and wants to spend $8000 on hair implants.  [/quote]

What's the cost 10 and 20 years down the road when things leak or whatever?[/quote]

She's getting a lift, not implants. The bigger question is whether she'll be happy with this single procedure, or if once she dips her toe in, if she'll be looking to do more, and then maintenance as she ages further.[/quote]
