Here I am, 45 years old. Divorced 5 years ago from a really great man who just wasn't supposed to be my husband, and raising 2 amazing teenagers at 19 and 17.
I make a great living, or at least many would agree. I didn't always, but I went back to school with 2 babies, got 2 degrees and a world of education, and finally made something of the brains I had been given, but never really used.
I have great parents, who gave me everything I needed - when they could - except an education about how to handle money.
I could write for hours about how my life with both my parents and my ex helped to create an amazingly intelligent woman who can't keep hold of a dime, but the least I can do right now is be completely accountable, and look forward - not back.
So, here I am. A pretty good job that provides for me (but I don't love it). A side business I love, but am trying to get up and running, a child in her 2nd year of college, and a gifted one about to choose an Ivy League school that I can't even think of paying for, a checking account overdrawn by $1,000, and about to begin a relationship with a financial planner who I am committed to having help me on a new path to financial righteousness.
Here is my story...
