If you want to undergo breast augmentation but think it is not affordable, think again. There are many simple ways to save for this procedure, and most of them are not as painful as you might think.
1. Set a goal
It sounds too easy, but one of the first things to do when you have decided to save for breast augmentation is to set a realistic goal and schedule. How much time do you need to save? When do you ideally want to have the procedure? Is it a realistic goal? Choosing a fixed date that is feasible and allows you to save money comfortably will make the process that much easier and more exciting.
2. Start small
The costs of breast augmentation can seem overwhelming at first. There are not only the surgeon’s fees, but also transportation, lost wages during recovery, and hospital costs. You will most likely have to save a few thousand dollars. Starting with small amounts of money can make the process easier. Saving up to fifty dollars a week will add up little by little over time, and before you know it, you will have a bundle of cash for your breast augmentation.
3. Reduce costs
Having trouble saving extra money for your procedure? An easy and painless method to help you save is to cut out the small, unnecessary luxuries that are probably costing you more than you think. Have an addiction to gourmet coffee? Maybe it’s time to switch to a cheaper coffee shop or make your own at home. Are cigarette costs ruining your budget? You will need to quit smoking before breast augmentation surgery anyway, so the sooner you do it, the more effective it will be. Making small changes will eventually translate into bigger dollars.
4. Sell
While the idea of a garage sale to help you fundraise may make you uncomfortable, there is an easy way to help make money quickly by selling a few junk items. Use sale websites to help you download items you no longer need. You will be amazed at the additional income it can generate and it requires a minimal investment of time. Best of all, you won’t need to sit in the front yard and haggle with your neighbor for pennies.
5. Smart savings
If you are taking a longer road and need more than a year to save for your surgery, consider placing your savings in a high-interest yield account. Not only will it help you not touch it, but it will work for you. Talk to your bank about the options available.
If you follow these tips, you’ll be on your way to surgery in no time. You don’t have to go into debt for a cosmetic procedure when you can achieve your goals by saving smartly, being proactive, and setting realistic goals. Remember to always save more than you anticipate as there may be unexpected costs down the road.
