Someone asked me the other day how I afforded the cost of laser eye surgery. Well, let's see.
I haven't had a land line for five years. $40 x 12 x 5 = $2400
I dropped internet access two years ago (thank God for wifi). $50 x 12 x 2 = $1200
No extended cable for 10 years. $50 x 12 x 10 = $6000
And in June, my employer started paying my cell phone bills. ($600/year)
And no car payments for 10 years (but let's count it as 5 years and assume I paid off the loan). $300 x 12 x 5 = $18000.
That's where I got the money to pay for lasik. And a few other sundry items.
The telecom companies hate people like me.

Now that you mention it, how are the new eyes getting along? I had mine about 21 months ago and things are pretty good! Hope yours is excellent.

going well. I still use Restasis so my eyes are not dry and I rarely think about them. However, my left eye stabilized at -0.5 so they are going to do an adjustment to it in november.
