I have teeth and a house! I went with never owning a car and just walk/cycle to get around.

I do own a house (finally got one in my late 30s) but part of what got me here is ignoring dental care (missing 2 teeth)
I would be missing three but I went to Costa Rica once for unrelated reasons and got an implant while I was there. Ruined my trip a little bit because getting an implant sucks but it was $750 vs $5100 in America (with pretty good insurance)
If you’re missing teeth for a long time (I’m pushing 8 years now) the rest of your teeth start moving around. It’s a real problem. Additionally once this happens missing teeth can exacerbate hip and back problems! Your jaw misaligns and then your posture gets fucked up

Ouuuh I didn’t know Costa Rica had cheap dental, might be a good excuse to visit again, I really loved that place.
I’m European but still in a similar situation, I have the house but getting my teeth fixed here would cost me like 10k€+, fuck that… The usual recommended destinations are Romania, Turkey, some other ones, but since I’m not only too cheap to get them fixed but also really scared of dental work due to the extreme pain I’ve experienced in the past both in and out of the chair, the idea of going on a trip to a foreign country for it is fucking terrifying. I’m also missing way more than 2 and what’s left isn’t exactly pristine either…
