My 7 year old son went to his school's "Holiday Shop" yesterday and came home with presents for loved ones, along with one he got for himself: a money jar with the words "Facelift Fund" emblazoned on the side. No, my child is not saving for a face lift. (He just liked the color of the jar, and plans to use it to hold the overflow from his extensive rock collection.) But it got me thinking. In these fiscally challenging times, how are people paying for plastic surgery?
Do you have a face lift jar? A special account where you save for "me" purchases (separate from your retirement savings or kids' college funds)? Are you planning to put it on a credit card? Does your surgeon offer a financing plan? Or are you hoping your insurance plan will pay for your procedure, at least in part?
Weigh in on the poll: How are you paying for your cosmetic procedure?
