Default Re: Desperate Single Mom- EGG DONOR?

It sounds like you have a poverty consciousness and need to turn your money life around. There is no stability in your finances and consequently in your life. It sounds like you are living beyond your means. If you can't afford camp expenses and tuition expenses your kids should not be in camp and attending private school and you should not have pets. Your circumstances are not the same as a financially stable two income household. Stop trying to be what you are not. Get rid of the credit cards and borrowing which will continue to keep you mired in this nightmare of a situation. Get out now, or you will run around in this circle forever. Earning more money will not help you unless you learn to handle what you have correctly. You also need to learn to put limits on yourself and learn to live within those limits.

Continue to visit boards such as this and read and re-read books on finances. The Tightwad Gazette is a good book to start with. Turning your money life around will be hard at first but will eventually happen if you stick with it.

You know the answer to your question regarding selling your eggs, or you would not be asking. The company does not give something for nothing. I understand it is very painful, there are a lot of visits to the doctor, and for the rest of your life you will wonder about your child. Its not like this is an adoption and you can look the child up. Also it sounds like you are very unstable and I don't think its wise to bring another unstable child into the world.

Next year when you run out of money what are you going to do then? Sell another egg?

Best of luck to you, you can turn things around but you have to be honest with yourself and willing to work on your underlying issues.
