Welcome To Life Continues After Divorce!

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Carol
I am passionate about showing you, divorced women, that you can manage your money, that you can understand finances and that you can become financially free!  You can be just as good at the money game as men, maybe even better!

 

I know that little voice is saying:

“You’re not smart enough…You’re not disciplined enough…You can’t do it…”

Your little voice says these things because it wants to keep you locked inside your “comfort zone.”  A place where you are not necessarily pampered, but where you are SAFE because it is  familiar. What you focus on is what you have.  We’re not going to play that game anymore.

I’ve created a commyounity where we, as divorced women, can:

  • learn and teach
  • express yourselves freely and openly
  • share your trials and triumphs
  • inspire and be inspired
  • play your BIG game of LIFE

both financially and emotionally!

What Effects Credit Score?

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Carol

You know you can go to three different companies to get your credit score:  TransUnion, Experian and Equifax.  And you probably should also know that you want a credit score over 720 to get good bank rates for mortgages, car loans etc…

But did you know what things effect your credit score?  Here are the top reasons why your credit score may not be as high as you would like:

#5. Letting anything go to collections.

#4. Cancelling too many cards.

#3. Having too many credit cards.

#2. Using more than 1/3 of your available credit.

And for the number 1 reason and more information on each reason, go to my membership site.

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Carol

Prepare And Stick To A Budget.

A budget is a way to control your expenses. Since you have little control over the amount of money that comes in, you have to control the money that goes out.

  1. List all your current income streams
  2. Make a list of all of your monthly expenses
  3. Compare your income to your expenses
  4. Stay on budget and avoid any new debt

It may not be easy but it is simple!
