I guess you live your life based on a certain set of assumptions, and when one of those assumptions goes awry, we're screwed.

I'm Anna Sale.

Meet Heidi Reinberg.

She's 53, never married. Been in New York City since right after college. She grew up in Texas.

I was raised in an era, and I guess this is a thing. You know, if you're good, you know, if you work hard, you'll get ahead. I've been working since I was probably 11 years old. I was the most prolific babysitter in my neighborhood.

You don't know, Heidi, but there's probably someone like her in your life. Someone you see walking the dog, you swap updates on family and work, then curse how everything's getting

so expensive in the neighborhood and sigh and roll your eyes together. When you're talking

about money, you might wonder how they make it

work, but you don't usually ask. In this episode, Heidi tells what's going through her head during
