How to Kickstart an Emergency Fund

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] Besides having a spending plan and saving for retirement, one of the major tenets of financial wellness is to have a healthy emergency fund. But the reality is that when you’re juggling multiple financial priorities—or simply have a rough time covering your bills each month—building the recommended three to six months for the unexpected is super challenging.   I remember when I was making $30,000 at my first full-time job. While that doesn’t seem like terrible pay, living in Los Angeles can be pricey. With rent on my tiny studio apartment in West L.A. devouring about a third of it, I...

Posted by flutter
in Bankruptcy

[ad_1] People tend to latch on to the wisdom of the most prominent experts in any field. In the case of personal finance, the most famous expert is probably Dave Ramsey.

They assume that $1,000 is the most they need to save, rather than a baseline. For some people, that might be enough – for others, it’s not even close. The amount you need depends entirely on your...

Is Divorce Ever Really Over? · Divorced Moms

Posted by flutter
in Divorce

[ad_1]  It’s been 2.5 years since my marriage imploded. 1.5 since the divorce was final. During the first year, my email inbox was a ticking time bomb. I never knew when there would be a ranting, raging email from my ex about how everything was my fault, how I never loved him. In the last six months or so, things have calmed down. We have even approached amicability. But with some recent discussions about child support and finances, we’re back to Ugly Town. We’re bringing up past transgressions. Issues we had with one another during the marriage that were, apparently, never resolved....
