When my daughter was around two and a half years old, my ex-husband got a job overseas. He kept in touch for a year and supported us financially. Things changed when one day he told me he had enrolled for his Ph.D. studies. He said there would be no more support for us, as he was channeling all the money to his studies. I had to take care of my babies, alone. They are two now, as he left me pregnant with our second born. Single parenting has its share of challenges, and here are some of those challenges I juggle.
Money has the power to stir up conflict, stress and family drama in unthinkable ways. Whether you and your partner have differing views on spending, or your extended family is over involved in your finances, mixing family and money can be a challenge. In this episode of Live.Work.Thrive presented by Charles Schwab, our panel of experts will discuss strategies for navigating the complexities of our finances and our closest relationships.
