Emotional Rescue

So you’ve lost much of that nest egg you were counting on to see you through your retirement years. Sleepless nights, constant fretting over the ongoing losses in the market, a few more grey hairs. You look in the mirror and see a person, not days or weeks older since this meltdown began, but years older. And to top it off you’ve lost enough money that that ‘lift’ you were going to reward yourself with this year is simply out of the question. Life can be cruel. Not only did you lose a whack of money, the last three white knuckle weeks have had their own ‘meltdown’ affect on your appearance. You could fix it, but we both know what that calls for – cash.

So you’ve lost some money. Tomorrow you’ll make some more. You always get through these tough times, don’t you? I know that I have. I also know that we need to feel good about ourselves, and especially so when things start to fall apart around us. So perhaps that procedure needs to be considered after all. But in a more creativefashion. You had planned to spend about $10,000 US to turn back the clock. What if you could still do it but for half that price? Tempting? Hmm.

It’s called medical tourism and it’s flourishing in Thailand, specifically Bangkok. Top notch surgeons working out of stylish clinics and hospitals performing procedures at prices 50 -70% less than in the West. Hop on a flight, check in, check out, recuperate in style and then Smile. This is the Land of Smiles after all. And you look fabulous!

Don’t get me wrong though. Personally I’m a firm believer in taking care of yourself throughout life. The knife to me is the last resort. But we all have a different threshold that marks that point in time. It was almost a year ago that a lovely lady and her husband checked in with us. She confided that she was here to have some work done. Her passport gave her age as 45, her face said 10 years older. Fast forward 2 months later and a more vibrant, youthful, 35 year old beauty I have yet to see. I’m a believer, when the time is right.

Yes, life can be cruel. It can also be what we make of it, through the good times and the difficult times.

At Bangkoksong we’ll cater to your all personal needs while you’re recuperating. And trust me, it’ll be our little secret.
