@louisbarajas3: More than one out of every three Americans getting divorced is over the age of 50. They call it gray divorce. And research shows women initiate about two thirds of these divorces. Think about it. You have been married 25, 30, or even 40 years. You raised your children, worked hard, and spent your life taking care of everybody else. And then one day you ask yourself, what about me? When do I get to be happy? Research from Bowling Green State University found that the gray divorce rate among Latinos is approximately 53 percent higher than among white Americans. This is happening in our comunidad too. But here is the part that concerns me. After a gray divorce, women’s standard of living drops by about 45 percent. For men it drops about 21 percent. You are 60 years old, getting ready to retire, and suddenly the financial future you spent your life building has completely changed. Two households, two sets of expenses, and less time to recover. I am not telling anyone to stay in an unhappy marriage because of money. But before you make one of the biggest emotional decisions of your life, understand the financial consequences. Know what you owe. Know what you own. Understand your retirement accounts, pensions, and Social Security benefits. You deserve to be happy. You also deserve financial security. Financial dignity means having the freedom to make decisions about your life without fear controlling them. #FinancesConCorazon #LatinoEconomicRevolution #LatinoRetirement #LatinoMarriageAndMoney   Join our community.
