My dad needed $20,000 worth of dental work. So they took a trip to Costa Rica for maybe $3k-5k and got the dental work done for free. Because Costa Rica gives free healthcare, including dental, to anyone in its borders. And they got a good vacation out of it.
They could afford to do that though. Most people couldn’t.
Me, looking at a $500 dentist bill for a crown because teeth are luxury bones: Yeah……fuck.
Me looking at my $500 monthly federal student loan payment.
Me struggling every month trying not to think about the unpause
I had a root canal and crown, $2k. I’m financing a tooth now.
