No.

And how do you feel about that?

Oh, I think it sucks.

This is opportunity costs from death, sex and money.

I immediately thought, oh, he's a rich boy.

A series all about class, which we think about a lot.

Oh boy, class.

And need to talk about more.

I'm Anna Sale. Christine is 42 and lives in Chicago with their husband. They both work in the

theater business. She paints sets and backdrops and they make enough money

to get by but not enough to have much in reserves.

Christine really felt that when she was trying to get pregnant and having a hard time.

Even just to get to the point to figure out why it was that we were having problems was thousands

of dollars later.

And how much did access to money? How much did you think about that when you were dealing with

infertility? All the time, all the time. I mean it affected everything it was like we were paying everything out of our pocket and there was a large part of me that felt like you're just going to keep telling me to keep trying naturally because you know I don't have

any insurance.

We tried for seven years? almost eight.

Yeah.

Yeah.
