Welcome to the club, and let's hope your Saab 9000 ownership will continue and you'll get some fun out of the car.
I don't know where any of the regular posters live, but maybe someone fairly nearby and with a little experience will pitch in and advise or help you.
If you do as DanaH recommends and read that how-to you might be able to do this job yourself.
You definitely will need the clutch disk, and if yours has been slipping you'll probably be best off buying a pressure plate as well, and having the flywheel resurfaced at a machine shop.
People have skipped those and done heavy sanding to help remove surface glazing.
If the throwout bearing isn't bad it doesn't need replacing, and ditto for the slave cylinder, but it is such a pain to get in there and get at them that it's smart to replace them at same time as the disk.
Plenty of the rest of us have spent all of our money on our cars before. I feel your pain.
