[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you still incurring new credit card debt, OP? Where did that debt come from?

I ask because if you have a pattern of overextending yourself, paying to freeze eggs on credit could be part of that pattern. If, however, you had a catastrophic one time expense of some kind and you used credit cards to get yourself out of that jam, then this is a different story.

I just feel concerned for you that you’re already significantly in debt and now considering going significantly further into debt. And then you’re going to have a baby, which is incomprehensibly expensive, in my experience (especially if you do it alone).  If you start out as a single mom with, say, $60k in debt and a $100-$120k income, that’s going to be an extremely stressful life.[/quote]

Right...and I can get out of this debt in five years if I stick with my budget. I had a series of catastrophic events that propelled me into this debt. My options now are finding a job to cover the egg freezing or hoping that a partner comes along in the next five years...[/quote]

That’s FANTASTIC that you have a plan in place to pay off the debt in 5 years, OP. Truly. But if all goes according to plan, you’ll have a baby before,  and all the expenses that come along with a baby. Plus you’ll have the debt from egg freezing on top of what you have now.[/quote]

Yep. I’ve settled that the only way I’m freezing my eggs is if I can get an employer to pay for it. Everyone’s perspective has been so helpful![/quote]
