Feb 3, 2021

We often hear about the toll divorce takes on our emotions, but it’s also a financially costly exercise, and one we need to be prepared for ahead of time. 

Thinking about life after divorce is tough while we’re in the thick of it, but we have to remember that this is the start of a new chapter. We have to start making financial decisions our future selves will benefit from. 

What do those decisions look like, and how can we get better at making them? Where does the new divorcee with no experience looking through finances even begin?

In this episode, Founder of Lifecycle Financial, Hirsch Serman shares how to keep finances stable during and after divorce.

Three Things You’ll Love About This Episode 

  • How to set ourselves up for a more advantageous place, post-divorce:

    The best time to start thinking about our finances is before the divorce is finalized. Start looking at which spending could be reduced to fit the future financial situation prior to signing any papers.

  • The questions we should ask ourselves before making financial decisions:

    It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of buying something new, but sometimes splurging isn’t the best choice. Before committing to a big purchase, think about whether our future selves would be impressed or frustrated with our decision. 

  • How to look at the marital home from a more financially savvy perspective:

    It’s tough walking away from a marital home because we associate so many memories with them. However, sometimes it’s helpful to remember that not all the memories are happy ones, and finding a new home could be a fresh start we can afford.
