My ex took any savings and collateral accumulated during our "relationship". He even took the children. I managed to get the two kids back, but we just live from paycheck to paycheck.
What I have found is this - I have everything I need. I have a roof over my head, I have enough money to pay my living bills, I have enough money to clothe and feed my children and myself. We have everything we need. There is nothing that we need that we don't have.
I have no debt. If I can't afford something in cash right now I don't buy it. Living very simply with "good enough" things is good enough for me.

Exactly...same here....but for the first time in my life I have a steady paycheck. Back in our 20’s we couldn’t work with people, so we became a freelance carpenter in which I built a business on for 20 or so years- enough to get by, plus being a single parent it made scheduling great.
According to personal history....things don’t go well long term. I’ve learned that once a deed is done, everyone goes quiet till the ‘I told you so’ moment, lol.
