Well, this probably doesn't fit the intent of the thread, but here goes:
I'm currently spending (not all at once, mind you, because I'm not made out of money) roughly $2900 (I *love* not having insurance! Simply love it!) per visit to the retina doc.
Last month, I learned I have something called Diabetic Retinopathy which was slowly destroying my eyesight.
So, despite the fact that it's putting me under a huge load of debt, seeing the world around me is well worth the expense.
