Most American meme you've ever seen.
I wouldn't tell anyone I won the lottery but there would be signs
Yeah after 25 years of zero dentist visits I have my first toothache this week. I'll never financially recover from this.

A cocaine addition is possibly cheaper π π’
The spot price for gold at the moment today 2024/3/4 is about $66 USD a gram. If anybody reading this is doing or has been doing drugs, remember if you are paying around 65 a gram (Average Cocaine and Heroin pricing) you are essentially throwing gold in the trash with every hit. I ask that those who think current drug policy is effective think of this fact, drugs are literally worth their weight in gold despite being illegal.
Are you suggesting investing in drugs?
Ive just this second opened the worlds first meth bank! Freely and securely deposit all your meth in me.
Damn, I went 10 without going. Had to suddenly go because a molar started crumbling. 3 years, 4 crowns and 2 new fillings later, Im doing a bit better now...
Oof, yeah... A cleaning and exam is $100-300 in the US. A root canal is $600-1600. Crowns are $1100-1700.
It's worth it to hit up the dentist at least every few years... Ideally 1-2 times a year.
Insurance is bullshit, though. It's a racket that's evolved only to favor the insurance companies. My dentist literally told me this.
Get insurance if you know you've got bad teeth, or a problem, though!

Dude this is literally me. As soon as I finished med school and started residency I got LASIK. A year after that I got Invisalign. And resident physicians don't make a lot montey but it was enough to change my looks.
Canβt wait to know what you are going to do with your money when you are an Attending physician! Lol.
Cocaine and bitches!
This you, hahahaha

I kinda wanna get invisalign. Im still kinda leery of LASIK, but it sounds interesting.
I'm definitely getting lasik maybe after I finish school and get my first high paying job
check out moneybags here with dental insurance
They'd be paying out of pocket with lottery winnings, I think you missed the point
With how dental insurance is done in the US, itβs almost the same regardless if you have insurance or not.
I'm not even American and they are the first things I would do if I won the lottery.
If I won the lottery, no one currently in my life would ever see or hear from me again.
If I won the lottery, Iβd try not to really change much about my lifestyle. Iβd work the same job, drive the same car. Iβd pay my house off, but otherwise treat the lottery money as retirement and/or an emergency fund and earn some extra money off the interest (interest alone off a few million sitting in a money market account might be decent). Otherwise, Iβd try to act like nothing happened, just live a relatively comfortable life, but still work, albeit with less stress.
There are rare instances where people don't hate and despise their job and bosses. Rare, but in your case, it does happen. For the vast majority of us we'd afford nutritious food, get in to see a medical professional, and afford a home...while loud-quitting and telling the boss to fuck himself.
Hell no, my family would have an awesome xmas
You have FAMILY?
Well yeah. What else are you supposed to keep in the basement?
I haven't won the lottery, and no one in my life sees or hears from me already.

So you'd do things that are free in half of Europe + shopping?
Therapy is free in my (European) country... if you can find a vacancy or pay it yourself. So it isn't.
Dentist are still pretty expensive where I live (West Europe), if you need anything more than basic care, you will pay β¬β¬β¬ and insurance won't pay much.

Is that a common dentist stance? I don't ever remember one straddling my head in their crotch
Every one of OP's friends - "Your smile is lovely! Can I borrow 10 grand?"
Finally getting my Luxury Bones fixed.
Gringos gonna gringate.
Is that Gus Fring in the top left?
He is not the same.
Anymore
Medical care is single-payer in Canada, and we pay one-half the amount in our taxes with zero co-pays and deductibles on top of that for pretty much identical to slightly superior medical outcomes.
But yeah, the other three track up here as well.
