Dental Work Or Elio

[paddy's wagon]

The wife just presented me with an estimate for her dental work, $7,000.00.
So it looks like a choice between buying an Elio or getting her dental work done.
Thinking........thinking........thinking..........which should I choose?

I'm retired, on a fixed income, drawing social security, medicare so 7K is a big, big item.
OK, it's an Elio.

Sorry dear, I'll puree your food so you don't have to chew so much.

Hello Paddy. I use Care Credit for dental work and vision. The way it works is, you get 1 year intrest free to pay it off. Of course, if not paid off, you'll owe all the retro active intrest. $7,000.00 would still be a huge payment. Maybe spread the dental work out over 2-3 years?

Look up HSA. If you qualify, you can pay all your medical bills with pre-tax dollars.

You gotta love a man with that kind of courage (and poor judgment). He may be living alone in his Elio but you have to admire his commitment (LOL)

Life is an ongoing state of choices. How you choose determines the quality of that life.
So all he has to do is choose. $7K or his life. How hard can that be?

That one is a no brainer, take care of your health first.

Whether it is a new car or a new TV, everything else is just stuff in one form or another.

I get one thing done at a time and when it is paid off I get the next thing done. My dentist is very cooperative but I also make sure I get in there with a payment as soon as I get my Social Security deposit each month. :-) Z
