[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been separated for almost three months. We are getting a divorce to my husband cheating. My daughter and I moved into an apartment and my soon to be ex moved in with a friend. The separation has been great for my health, but it’s a financial burden. I’ve lived on my own before I had my daughter, but it’s definitely harder this time around. I feel like all of my money goes to rent and I’m stuck living paycheck to paycheck. It’s really frustrating and a part of me feels guilty because I really don’t want to be a disappointment to my daughter because of our living situation. Please tell me it gets easier![/quote] Are you getting child support? That's step 1. It won't completely solve the problem, but your ex needs to provide money plus pay for their fair share of childcare expenses. Then you need a really good budget based on what you have (I like YNAB's system), and not based on what you used to spend. [/quote]
