Life After Divorce Support Group
This community is dedicated to starting over after a divorce. With the marriage over, how do individuals begin a new chapter in their lives and what hurdles do they face? Divorce is often one of the most traumatic periods in a person's life. Studies show it is the second-most stressful event in life, after the death of a spouse.
I don't know about you, but I always use my refund to pay on a bill or buy something needed for my home or children. I am still going to do that this year, but I am taking some money and doing something fun for myself. Not sure what I am going to do, but I am going to do something.

Goofy: Before you count on oweing do your taxes on Turbotax website for free to get an estimate on both Federal and State in the upper right corner. They don't charge unless you click the submit button. That's what I did and I was greatly suprised. I began the process in January but was so busy I didn't actually file until last night. lol
Restored: I am so thrilled to be able to pay off my car. It's going to reroute so much "free" money into the budget. It's like getting cash at xmas instead of a goofy gift card to a store you hate. lol
