If you are starting over after divorce with no money it’s time to shift your thoughts and discover how to recover. In difficult economic times the divorce rate increases substantially. The lack of money impacts self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence and robs people of all values. Low income, unemployed are more likely to divorce, commit crime, suffer from depression and worse. So, what are the answers?
Never give up hope or succumb to pressure! As difficult as it may seem if you’re suffering from any of the above it’s time to rally and do everything you can to move forward. There are people happy in relationships, wealthy & living better than they ever imagined, you can too! Blaming circumstances and allowing yourself to be defeated will only result in attracting more loss. Too many good people are finding themselves in distressful situations and it’s unnecessary.
Struggling financially after divorce
Too often when help is needed the most ego rears its’ ugly head and holds us back from asking for assistance in the right places. Each State or Province is different so all services available are not listed here. What you can do for yourself is start inquiring locally. Ask your government agency where you can get financial help.
- Find out where food banks, soup kitchens, etc.
- Contact local Churches and get involved in support groups.
- Co-ordinate and organize a group if there isn’t currently one for your needs.
- Offer your services in areas of your expertise in exchange for something you need. Often volunteering your services can result in paid employment once you’ve proven yourself.
- Begin researching through the local library, online groups, google, second-hand book stores. Read everything you can about one specific topic you’re interested in and become an expert. Once you know valuable information begin sharing it in groups, giving classes or starting your own blog. Sharing your value and information may begin to provide income. Even if it doesn’t right away it is putting your mind and energy to good use and moving you towards a future that’s better.
