I Can't Afford to Leave My Marriage

Money is a big reason women stay in unhappy marriages much longer than they should. I can't tell you how many women I've helped who knew they should leave years before they actually did. One of the main reasons women hesitate to leave or just endure a broken marriage is that they are afraid of not having enough money to survive afterwards, much less afford to file or hire an attorney. But it is possible.

This week we have one of our most favorite guests back on the Find Me The Money podcast. Kate Anthony has been a divorce coach for more than a decade, and she is the author of The D Word: Making the Ultimate Decision About Your Marriage.

Kate is with us to talk about the financial issues that impact a woman's ability to leave the marriage. And.... what do you do about them????

The decision to leave is unique to everyone, but Kate shares her divorce experience and how she made the decision to choose peace and happiness over immediate financial security. That's right. Kate gave up a financially secure lifestyle because she knew that her long-term peace was worth more than any money or material goods. She wanted the best for her child, but the best included having a happy and calm mother.

If you're contemplating divorce and are feeling like you can't because of finances, you don't want to miss this week's episode of the Find Me The Money, I Can't Afford to Leave My Marriage with Kate Anthony.
