And Disco.

And Star Wars.

Considering how Disney has mishandled The Force after acquiring Lucas Films for $4B in 2012, I might prefer Disco at this point.

Yeah, it won't be too long before I go for LASIK. I'm 46 now and think it's about time to start looking into it.

I've upped my HSA contributions per pay period because I'd rather pay for it with a tax-advantaged account than out of pocket, though, so I'm working to build that up so I'll be able to pay it all out of HSA without draining that account.

I maxed out my HSA every year for years, but never used it to pay my medical expenses and invested the money in the market. (I could afford to pay out of pocket).  Because of that I now have another retirement sources of income that can be used for medical expenses tax free or just used and taxed as ordinary income.

There is the argument that saving taxes today versus tomorrow for paying medical expenses out of the HSA, but I figured the growth of the market would out weigh the tax savings.

My vision was super bad, very near-sighted.  My contacts were -8 and -8.5 (whatever that means).  I just know it means I was really nearsighted.  I had good results, 8 years of not needing glasses first thing in the morning has been life changing.  Even when I do eventually have to start wearing glasses again, there is a huge difference in wearing thin, can still kinda see without them glasses, to Velma from Scooby Doo where you can't even see 2 feet in front of you without them. 
You could have been worst, I am -14.5 and -14.75 and they can't get me anywhere near 20/20 with Lasik.

I can hardly wait to have cataracts removed
I keep hoping for cataracts.  As I said I can't get Lasik and they can't get me to 20/20 with clear lens replacement, so I am not paying 8K to have that done.  But if I get cataracts, they will put in corrective lens and get my eyes nearer to 20/20 without the great cost. As someone said earlier, thinner lens and and it being able to see further than 6" in front of my face would be nice.

Since you set the bar high with such a hilarious post...

I was made in the 70's and arrived in the 80's

Probably why the 80's were so awesome.  Thanks for being born, brother!

Nope, disagree with you and agree with badge.  Standard time sucks.  My dad has always called it "Daylight Wastings Time."

Make Daylight Savings Time Great Again!

The 80s were indeed awesome.  I'm lucky enough to have been young in the simpler times of the 70s, but then come of age throughout the 80s which is the best decade ever, and then graduated high school in 1990.

I thought you were younger.
