A vasectomy
Best $500 I ever spent. Well, $504.99. The frozen peas were $4.99.
Those are some expensive peas!
That’s a pretty good deal, I forget what I paid
The state paid for mine, which was nice. Unfortunately mine went wrong in the worst ways. The antibiotics weren't working, went back after a few days. My sack was the size of a softball. 2 different antibiotics later and finally the swelling started to go down. It was excruciating.
All that said, Mine went as badly as one could possibly go, yet you still couldn't pay me to have not done it. Best decision ever. All this to say, 99.9% of people will have some sore balls for a few days and that's the end of it. And still the 0.01% of people who do have complications are telling you that it's totally worth. If you're on the fence, that should tell you something.
Yeah I mean, these are the stories you only hear on the self selecting sample of the internet. My physician has done thousands and claims to have never had a compilation. Pick someone who does it for a living, and you’ll be fine.
