Turning 50 and starting all over. With kids and no support nor income is challenging. This video has helped shed some light. Lord I need an inspiration 😢

From having 4 houses 4 jobs divorce took everything to nothing going bankrupt to now living a good life so it can be done, I don’t own a house only rent but my quality of life is good, you need a different mind set. Well said Mark. You do not need wealth to be happy.

I strongly recommend Regina Louise Collaro, a reputable US-based financial advisor and consultant. Through her collaboration with an international organization, she has provided invaluable guidance and support on my financial journey until I reach my goals. Choosing the right financial consultant is vital, akin to finding the ideal life partner, as both profoundly influence your life's direction. I am thankful to have found such an excellent financial consultant who has aided me in accomplishing my financial goals, spanning from education to nearing retirement.😊

It's surprising to come across Regina Louise Collaro's name here. I've always been uncertain about hiring an investment advisor. Just to clarify, I began collaborating with Regina in 2019. She oversees around 70% of my investments, leaving me with the remaining 30%. My stance has always been that I prioritize my own finances, but she has convinced me of her extensive knowledge regarding present circumstances and upcoming trend

I'm 54, divorced and now starting again with absolutely nothing. I've got a job paying approximately £1600/month. I have £8k in debts still to pay. Between rent, utilities and debt repayments there's not a lot left to live on for the rest of the month.....but I manage. I'm so tired and looking for inspiration. I know there's a better life out there, I hope I can find it. The thought of going on like this until my deathbed is depressing.

Great advice, it's sometimes hard to see this when your in the middle of a divorce and everything you built is being destroyed while the family law system is doing a number on you from multiple directions, but it's also an opportunity to recreate something much bigger..

Everyone isnt cut out for entrepreneurship/ business ownership.

THANK U SO MUCH. You are amazing and a godsend. Please keep these videos going. I’m in that situation now and need to turbo charge ASAP. I won’t go into my story, similar to many other people 😢 thank you all for this community.

In this day and age the worse thing you can do is get married and not have your own skills and income. Always have your own. Having a dependable roommate is the best way to get back on your feet if income has been lost. Share until you can afford your own. This helps not only you but your roommate.
