How much money does it cost to look good?
I'm almost embarrassed by this. We've done well, and we've been able to afford the following: at age 55, a lower facelift, upper and lower blepharoplasty. Every year thereafter, Fraxel and light Juvederm. Continual regimen of Retin-A. 72: Brow, face, neck lift, fat grafting to the chin. My surgeon recommends a yearly Co2 laser treatment. When I add these costs up, they are roughly 100k over the course of my lifetime. I wasn't raised "rich", and I don't consider myself "rich" now, but I'm somewhat guilty about all this. And, even more guilty that I think: Well, what else can I do? (And, include the monthly gym membership/personal training over the course of 30 years, and it gets crazy!)
