How do you build a comfortable life for yourself (and kiddo) when you’re single?
And, please don’t say find someone with money to marry because that never works. Stop basing life choices on hallmark and lifetime movies trying to force women into traditional roles of exploitation. Please and thank you.
If you want an easy list:
- Find support and be supportive (this also includes removing people who are not supportive)
- Be happy being alone. Yes, it is healthy. Yes, it is good for you. If you’re like me, long lasting bad choices came from wanting to ‘not be lonely’
- Find a career that interests you, find the skills you need and translate your life experience to them. (You can literally tell AI to transform ‘being a single mom’ into corporate experience)
- Build this career up through Freelancing while still working your normal job. Freelancing is a 1099 situation. Meaning, your client cannot tell you how or when to work.
- Manage money better
- Do not fall for fads! Do what works for you and only you
- Find ways to enjoy life that you didn’t have the (financial) ability to do before
