What would you do with the $40,000?In making the difficult decision to divorce my husband, I faced significant financial challenges. I delayed this choice, primarily out of fear that I wouldn’t be able to financially support myself and my children. Despite the emotional relief, the divorce caused a substantial reduction in my retirement savings, and I incurred additional debt because I earned more money. Despite these challenges, I’m determined to rebuild my financial stability and this opportunity can support this process.
