Beyond Cliche Advice: What Helped When I Was Struggling Financially
“When you are in uncertainty, when you feel at risk, when you feel exposed, don’t tap out. Stay brave, stay uncomfortable, stay in the cringy moment, lean into the hard conversation, and keep leading.” ~Brené Brown When you think of someone who’s struggling financially, you might picture someone who’s barely making ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, just getting by.
But money trouble doesn’t always look like that. I was struggling even though it didn’t seem that way. I had a six-figure salary.
I owned a home in one of the most expensive cities in the world, having bought a half-million-dollar property in my late twenties.
From the outside, I had it all. But a year into homeownership, my partner backed out of our financial agreement, leaving me to manage everything alone.
