Meredith doesn't like talking finances, but she's going to for your benefit! This week is all about the frustration of not being as prepared as she'd like to be, the privileged position she's in because she's raising this baby with her mother, the cost of each medication prescribed for the upcoming egg retrieval, and a quick rant about the state of the entertainment industry (her given profession).

00:18 - Personal Finance Woes
04:47 - Privilege & Fertility Stipends at Work
05:58 - Using Health Insurance for Fertility Benefits
10:04 - Cost of Fertility Drugs
13:30 - Frustration with the Entertainment Industry Post-Strike

Hey, I'm Meredith! I'm becoming a single mother by choice using a known donor; I'm so stoked to be having a baby with my gay best friend. After a few tries with the turkey baster in 2023, I turned to IVF in Spring of 2024.
