I have been saving up for a breast reduction as I have neck and back problems and I can’t get a reduction on the NHS. My lovely husband has been working extra hours (i don’t have the option to do more hours, already full time but no overtime) so that I can get this. The cost of the operation is £6000.
Our house could be doing with a lot of work, expensive work, and now I’m feeling guilty that I will be spending this money on myself and feel it should be put towards the house. I have mentioned this to my husband but he says the only reason he is doing extra work is so I will go for this operation to benefit my health.
Our mortgage is finished next year so we will be £500 better off so my husband is saying we can use that to put towards renovating the house (husband is very handy and can do a lot of work himself) but we really need new external doors, a new bathroom, kitchen, carpets and flooring and we desperately need a new suite and I really don’t want to borrow money for this.
I just feel so selfish. What would you do?
