Hey everyone, it's Rima Hrace. I just wanted to say, thank you all for listening to

This is Uncomfortable and Marketplace this year. We shared some of my favorite stories these last

several months. We explored the fraught finances behind the egg donation industry. We learned about the power

dynamics at play in financial domination and we asked at the end of the day who can you trust with your money.

And I especially loved our most recent episode from our pop-up mini season, which I hope you enjoyed.

That episode is called Free Rent's Gonna Costya.

It's about how far two friends will go to save a buck.

And you know, by sharing these personal intimate stories,

our goal is to make talking about money less taboo and ultimately empower us to make better choices around our financial and work lives.

And honestly, we wouldn't be able to do any of that without you all.

If you didn't know, we're a public radio

podcast and Marketplace is a public service and nonprofit newsroom. So that means we

get to do the journalism and storytelling we do because of the support of

listeners like you all and so now a request as we close out the year. If you are

able please consider making a tax deductible year end donation today.

Your support keeps our non-profit newsroom and podcast going and helps us keep bringing you the

rich personal stories you love.

And I should say we've got some really exciting things coming in

2024 that I can't wait to share with you all. We've got stories about how

tricky it can be to support a loved one who gets sucked into a financial

scam. The high cost of trying to become a pop star, and a story

about fighting for fair pay in an industry built on exploitation.
