A woman who earned $165,000 (£122,000) a year before being laid off has revealed how she's balancing unemployment, fertility treatment, and long-term financial planning, offering a candid look at the financial realities of IVF during a career setback.
In a widely discussed post on Reddit's r/MoneyDiariesACTIVE, the 34-year-old shared a week from her life after unexpectedly losing her job in January. While the redundancy was emotionally difficult, she said months of severance pay, substantial savings, and careful budgeting have allowed her to continue IVF treatment while searching for a new role.
