[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a single fed, mid-30s freezing my eggs only due to savings accrued during the student loan forbearance since 2020. I have no insurance coverage or family financial support. I live in a dingy basement apartment that I hate, but lets me save money to do this. Hopefully, I'll meet someone and never have to use the eggs, but if I have a son I may just have to name him Joe to thank Biden for the forbearance. [/quote]

God help you. [/quote]

Thanks! Feeling pretty good going into it with my lab results. I have a solid income, 6-month emergency fund, job security, and fortunately can do this without breaking the bank specifically thanks to the student loan forbearance and living very frugally during the pandemic. I know so many mid-30something friends who either have already decided to never have children or are too afraid to think about it and look into it, so I think I've planned well and at the very least, I'll know I did everything I could to try and have the family I wanted, even if a pandemic and biology ultimately say it's not to be. I know I can't afford to be a single mom, but I think I'll feel more free dating afterwards knowing that the rest of it is out of my hands.[/quote]

You can’t afford student loans that you yourself took out, what makes you think you’re responsible enough to parent? Are you going to depend on the taxpayer for most of that, too?

-paid my student loans in full [/quote]

OP here. I serve the public because I love and care for others, whether I know them or not, and certainly whether they like me or not. You may not agree with my religion or values, but since you're worried about the burden to the taxpayer, I'm happy to assure you that I made a sound investment. I recently put myself through graduate school and took out a reasonable amount of loans, knowing that my income earning potential ensured I can pay them off even if PSLF options disappear. At the end of the day, I'm literally trying to birth a new taxpayer someday in a fiscally responsible way; just doing my part to help the low U.S. birth rate ;)

Just curious - what would have said if I didn't mention I was a govt. employee with student loans? What makes some of us worthy and others not? Your reaction fascinates me. [/quote]

OP is 42 with a partner who is starting IVF. You’re a single fed in your 30s freezing your eggs who hijacked OP’s post and is now claiming to be her? Get help. [/quote]

Lol whatever I mean that I was OP who was quoted by who I am assuming is you, my beloved Anon! Sorry I didn't use proper Interweb jargon while multitasking after a busy day; you know I try to schedule my every move around making randomly spiteful internet strangers happy.

xoxo,
the woman you hate for literally no reason [/quote]
