Saving Myself by Jo Baker

Saving Myself by Jo Baker

Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult things you will do, and it affects every aspect of your life, even if it was your choice to leave.

Suddenly, you're wholly and solely responsible for 'it all' and your husband or partner is no longer there to bounce ideas off of. Maybe you feel like you need to re-learn how to live life as a single woman and you're getting the feeling you need to do it quickly.

One of the scariest things about being on your own after you've separated or divorced can be managing your finances. If you don't regain control of your money, you're in danger of losing more than just your relationship.

In this book, Jo will gently guide you through the process of creating a solid money plan and will help you create a working budget that meets your unique needs and circumstances, not some cookie cutter, one size fits all approach, that will leave you confused and unlikely to see results.

She will show you how to demolish your bad debt and make sure that you always have money put aside for when you need it most.

But she doesn't stop there, because Jo knows that money is not just about the numbers-it's also about mindset and behaviours. Jo bookends your money plan by helping you create the positive habits you need to really make this work.

This isn't your regular money management book, this is a book about feminine financial empowerment. This is about taking you by the hand and showing you there's a new way to live life after divorce.
