On The Road To Affording An Implant

My first phase of my plan is completed. I have obtained my Class A Drivers License.

Now, I will work toward obtain driving experience (time) and endorsements. I just gotta stay motivated and healthy. Network and move up to better paying driving jobs. With the way I live my life; eating habits, fitness, fiscal responsibility. I will still be healthy and I could potentially have the funds to pay for an implant surgery within a 2 year period and still have money left over. I have nothing tying me down, just a cell phone bill and storage rent.

Unless shit hits the fan and everything goes straight to hell in a hand-basket, hahaha!

Let me be first to congratulate you and send kudos for your initiative in seeking a position where you can generate the revenue to git ‘er done, as people say in the hinterlands (aka flyover country)

As an aside, I’ve had my CDL since 1974 (age 18) and driving a cattle truck part time was one of the many things I did to pay my way thru college. The world would be a far better place if some of the trust fund children in Ivy League schools could spend a summer driving around in the non air conditioned cab of a cattle truck filled with bawling, shitting calves on their way to the auction barn. If nothing else it would be a golden opportunity for them to learn to cuss and chew tobacco.

Regardless of anyone’s station in life having a REAL, marketable skill (like driving a Truck) is a very good Thing.

Not sure about insurance or what you figured you would have to spend, but there are good surgeons doing the implant for about 17-18K out of pocket. So be a little stingy on tipping thisevtruck stop waitresses and save even faster.

Good luck and safe journeys to you, and God bless your industriousness.

Wheez, why wait 2 years? AMS has a financial program set up with Ally Bank that many implanters have opted into. It allows you to pay it off over 5 years I believe.

Off the top of my head, Dr Eid, Tatem, Clavill all have. I would imagine many more have.

I was just trying to be financially sound. I will look into this program though, thank you for the information. This might open up a new avenue!

Btw, I just spoke to my urologist and he says he has a payment plan that is through the hospital he uses. That is another option!

The hospital I used had a zero interest finance option for 2-5 years. My insurance ended up covering it but I did use the finance option for my portion. Shoot use their money instead of mine especially since it was interest free.
