I went through a financial crises when I ended up getting a divorce. Yes, my husband from back then loved to run around. Forth girlfriend was enough. We had a child and was trying to have another one that I lost in miscarrage do to the stress I was under. Had to move back in with my mother and 2 sisters which was a joke but that is another story. I had no job and a child to raise. She was about 5 years old at the time. It was a struggle but I managed to find a job and my mother who didn’t drive, sold me my father’s car. So at least I had that. My ex missed paying child support and allimony a lot. But I did make it out on my own after a year. It was tough and yes, living pay check to pay check is not easy. No matter what the reason. I have now been happily married for 34 years to a wonderful man whom when we met said he would take care of me. He never failed on that promas. He has one daughter who was 14 when we met and then my daughter who was 11 at that time. He was really good to my daughter. We now have 5 wonderful grandchildren between the two girls. The youngest is now 17 years old. Time really flies by. I made a pack with myself that I would never live paycheck to paycheck again. That is also why I don’t use charge cards unless I can pay them off when they come in. Those were tough times back in those days. I can feel for the fed. emplyees that have been layed off. I know it is not easy.
