Financial Musings on my Vasectomy

The time has come for one of us to do something permanent.  We’ve now got 3 kids, we’re mid-30s, and we’re done.  I failed miserably at trying to convince my wife she should have it done.  I found some new lacroscopic procedure that was supposed to be pretty painless and cut out the article, but she wasn’t hearing it.  She reminded me of the 3 creatures she pushed out already and said it was my turn.  So, after much ado, I’ve undergone the consult and have the snip to look forward to.  On my way back from the consultation, I had varying thoughts on the topic and since I haven’t seen a post like this on a personal finance site, I thought I’d ramble a bit (and try to tie it all to finance in some way):

Darwin, dude, a vasectomy is NOT the same as an orchiectomy, just so ya’ know.

For family planning economics, vasectomy is the most cost-effective method and safest for all concerned. Cheaper than condoms, safer than BCPs/IUD for the wife, saves you $250K per child.

Snip, snip, snip and fouggeeddabboouutt it.

Having been a proud owner of a vasectomy since age 23 after two lovely kids.. Darwin is obviously a very slow learner.

Besides, to be honest about it, sex is so much better when the female of the species does not have to worry about preg-problems post coitus coupled with not throwing her system completely out of whack (bad word to use for a vasectomy posting) by sucking huge amounts of hormones up to prevent fertilization.

I would not know a single thing about this, you understand, but I’ve heard that once the word gets out that you’re “safe”, nice things begin to happen.

Whatever you do Do NOT look up Vasectomys gone bad before
You go in. Just do it and afterward keep ice on it and plenty of pain
Pills and vodka handy.

I know a guy who developed elephantitis of the nuts when he had his vasectomy . He couldn’t wear pants for 2 weeks. His nuts swelled up like grapefruits

Another great thing about being a boomer is that the chicks are all post-menopausal.
