H, that was wonderful! I'm sorry about your Dad. I know, it just makes everything seem sadder. But I do feel like she's looking down, giving me strength.
Aver, my Mom and yours sound like relatives! Much as I miss my Mom I am glad she doesn't have to see the wreckage of my M. Direct, strong, opinionated, she would have some choice words for H! I can only imagine her reaction to this! I am sorry you lost yours too.
When I met w L a few wks ago, she asked if I'd ask for alimony. I was like what? I mean no kids, I've always worked full time. Guess I should also mention, in fairness, that H whose 401K is considerably larger than mine, is splitting it 50/50. So I guess he's not out to ruin me. Financially at least.
I will consider your comments though. Finances & all that have never been my strength. I've always been frugal and sensible w money but never been that saavy, and it does worry me that I "start over" with so little. After all, I've paid 1/2 the mortgage for 11 yrs., that has to be like $60k or something. Anyway, something to work on this weekend.
Well, time to send H an email about a large withdrawal. I'll be expecting an email back asking if I know when I'm moving. Yuck. I am going to make some plans for this weekend. I need to work on that "Strong independent" part of my goals!
Hope you two also have nice weekends. I'll check back soon. Thanks friends. (((H))))) (((((Aver)))))
