I have considered selling my eggs. I don’t intend to become pregnant myself, but I have some nice DNA and it could be put to use. I wouldn’t give up something I couldn’t replace though. I like my body. Money is not that important.

I am willingly eating office meeting food (which is oily and unhealthy, low quality ingredient that I would never buy). But it’s FREE and I would save the meal cost to buy only free range chicken for my other meals.

As for debt, I am a person that jumps into any low interest loan and use that for safe investment. So debt doesn’t fear me, as long as the cash flow is intact.

HA! This clearly has sparks some debate, and some laughs. “The bottom has fallen out of the testicle market” – who knew there was one.

For me, no, never. But it can be sad that folks can/do resort to desperate measures such as this. Cheers. Tom

Good point on the “crisis” mode – that changes everything, you’re very right. And probably (but hopefully not!) why we got this “left testicle” comment which sparked this post :(

That’s a pretty funny comment. I do think debt really bogs people down! I live in one of the most expensive cities in the United States (San Francisco), and lived in a car/tent to pay off my debt! I was the only way to do it around here. I’m so glad I did! The freedom is so worth it. I don’t know about giving up a body part, but for sure people can think of ways to save and downsize!

Somehow that does not surprise me in the least with you :)

Which, btw, I had a BLAST hanging out with you and your wife there at the end of FinCon… you’re a fun person to party with!
