@startoverstrategy: Replying to @youregonnamakeitafterall We don’t talk enough about how long it can actually take to become financially stable after divorce. Especially for divorced former tradwives who may be entering the workforce, building careers, or learning to support themselves after years or decades outside traditional employment. Sometimes you do everything right and still get knocked backward. I know because I’ve experienced it. I was on a strong upward financial trajectory—and then an unexpected surgery and job loss changed everything. In many ways, I’m rebuilding for the second time. I’m not starting over in terms of what I know. I have more skills, experience, knowledge, and perspective than I did the first time. But I’m rebuilding the financial margin again. And that’s an important distinction. Getting your bills paid is one milestone. Building enough savings, income, assets, insurance, and financial margin to absorb the next crisis is another. When there’s no margin, one job loss, medical event, car repair, or family emergency can undo enormous amounts of progress. That’s why I want to document this second rebuild. I want to share what works, what doesn’t, the mistakes I’ve made, and what I’m doing differently this time—so perhaps another woman can reach stability faster than I did. And I love hearing from women who are farther down this road. We can learn from each other. Because the ultimate goal isn’t simply to make enough money to survive this month. It’s to build enough financial stability that when life hits again, it doesn’t knock us all the way back down. #StartOverStrategy #DivorcedFormerTradwife #FinancialStability #FinancialIndependence #StartingOverAfterDivorce
