Budgeting for a new divorcee... anyone got tips?

I’m in the process of getting a divorce and keeping the house, so I really need to re-budget everything. We used to split costs about 60-40, but now it’s all on me. Anyone been through this and have any tips or advice? Would really appreciate it!

Hey, I’ve been there! It’s tough, but you can totally do this. Start by listing all your monthly expenses and income.

What do you mean by listing expenses? Like, do I need to write everything down?

Yeah, just jot down everything you spend on, even small stuff. It helps to see where your money is going!

I had to redo my budget after a breakup too. Definitely look into cutting any unnecessary expenses. Every little bit helps!

Consider a budgeting app. They make tracking expenses way easier. I use one, and it’s been a lifesaver.

Which app do you use? I’m not sure what’s out there.

I use YNAB. It’s great for setting goals and sticking to a budget!

Don’t forget to factor in savings for emergencies! You never know when something might come up.

Good luck! It’s a big adjustment, but you’ll figure it out. Just take it one step at a time.
