Getting over a broken heart

Tuesday, Oct 07 in Divorce | Comments (0)

Question: Russ got divorced 2 years ago. He has $234,000 in total debt from his spec house, car and more. His field of work has really gotten slow. He makes $36,000 a year along with contract work on the side, but keeps falling behind. He doesn't know what to do.

Dave Ramsey's advice: It sounds like your heart was thoroughly broken and you haven't healed yet. You're still reeling from that, and you're not paying attention and disorganized. You do something and then worry about consequences later. Drop the price on your spec house and get the car sold. Keep picking up extra jobs as you can, and get in a really good exercise program.

Start setting some goals so you know where you want to be in 10 years. Have something to look forward to instead of looking back, because looking back is paralyzing you. It's time for you to have a future. When you get the stuff sold, the rest of things will start coming together. Part of your broken heart requires that you have God around you, so get in a good church.
