Hey Guys, I have had to get braces for a longtime. I put it away coz, when men has ever taken care of ourselves in a marriage.

So now my orthodontist is recommending i get them since i have good amount of overbite and jaw misalignment. Its gonna cost me 5k.

I earn a lot more than my STBX and im on the hook for CS + possibly alimony. But i also have cash reserves now, not sure ill have them after divorce.

Is it worth getting it right away or do u think its prudent to keep cash on hand? 2 options i have is, I can use my emp stock options to pay for it in full upfront, since i get a discount. Or i just move more of my monthly salary deducted and put into into HSA by my emp and use that to pay monthly.
