Divorce: frugal tipps for a new start
My still-husband is moving out in two weeks, so I will be responsible to keep up the household alone.
Rent will be almost 50% of what I earn. Kids will be here every other week. I will be able to increase my work hours from 30 to 35 hours and I will get national child support that everyone receives in my country (255€).
Last month I did a "test run" with my normal pay and tried to keep spend only that much, that I still had rent money left. It didn't work out completely, because July had both kids birthdays and I went on a three day vacation at the sea with my parents. It was only 250€ too much. So the gist is: I will be able to make it, but it's tight. Not much wiggle room.
Please, hit me up with your ideas, where I could save, what habits I should establish, how to balance mental load (living alone for the first time in 25 years) and keeping an eye on finances etc.
