Thank you very much. I wonder if that will remain true. I feel like I still need to earn, but I am unable to with all these people to take care of. I wasn’t expecting to end up alone doing this, but right now I wouldn’t want to get married again anyway because joining everything together is a mess, especially if you have kids... I’m not doing THAT again... To think that maybe I can do it for a while somehow on my own is a huge relief.
If you’re not familiar with Dave Ramsey, get to know him!
You can get his books from the library and watch all of his videos on YouTube for free; he also has a radio show. His advice allowed me to be DEBT FREE and ‘retired’ at 55. (And I got divorced at 50, though I had no kids to care for as they are adults.)
