Ooohh interesting you’re looking into life insurance. I’d just be super careful with it, typically the way it’s illustrated is much different than the actual performance. Additionally, there are huge amounts of fees that they can slap on arbitrarily
I cannot believe how much are lives have been running in parallel. My divorce destroyed me financially. I also owe my mom tens of thousands of dollars to help fight for joint custody of my daughter. Prior to that point, I dedicated endless amounts of time and resources in creating financial stability (401k’s, stocks, home equity, good credit, etc.)
After my divorce and a custody fight that lasted 3 years, all of my assets were wiped. I once again was living paycheck to paycheck without a clue as to how I could return to that state. It’s beyond a relief to know there are others out there who have the courage and expertise to help the community.
Wow, John. Thank you for sharing your story and how it mirrors mine in so many ways. In a strange way, my divorce was a blessing in disguise. Yes, it forced me to start over. But it made me disciplined and diligent about my money. It fueled me to take back control and stop allowing others to take from me. It totally changed my perspective. And it has equipped me with lessons and strategies I can now carry with me for the rest of my life, while also passing them down to Parker.
Glad to have you here. The goal is to become stronger together!

I ended up not going with it, Ray. I’m not quite ready to use that vehicle. But I’m still intrigued. I appreciate the head’s up.

It’s totally surreal!
