24 yo N4, not sure what to do next

[tdizzle]

I started losing it at 22 in college, and right now I'm around a Norwood 4A.

Last year was extremely stressful for me (unemployed in new city, broke, 2 very close funerals) and I noticed it really accelerated the hair loss. Since then I've found a job, got set up in my own place and my company has been performing very well, and I haven't really noticed much of a loss over the past 3-6 months.

I'm at a point where its pretty much shave it all off, let it just develop into an N7 donut, or keep it as best I can, perhaps waiting for some miracle cure in the next 2-3 years. As a white skinny dude, I didn't get many positive remarks the only time I tried shaved it, so gym work and perhaps a tan would likely be required.

As a result of my company's performance lately, I'm at a point where I can afford to drop reasonable 5-figures on a permanent solution which I legitimately believe would act as a valuable career investment (I work in marketing).

Unfortunately the hair I have is very fine so a straight transplant probably isn't a reasonable option. Also, I'd rather just accept the N7 I'm heading for than to work to maintain an N4, so drugs that only maintain current hair growth aren't really something I want to consider.

Have any thoughts for someone in my situation? I'm thinking it's time to make some decisions.
