I left my marriage 2.5 years ago. Although my ex H was a high earner he was awful with money and we were always in debt. We had joint loans and I (very stupidly) ran up credit card and credit account debts before the divorce and in the immediate post separation.
Money was always a worry when we were together but I decided when we were divorced I was going to sort myself out.
I’ve had to change jobs to wfh due to my disabled daughter and we are now in a much better position.
Today, 2.5 years post separation I can finally say I am debt free!! I have paid off 20,000 pounds in that time and also bought my ex out of the house, begun a small savings pot and tripled my pension pot.
For the first time in many, many years I am debt free and it’s going to stay that way!!! I cannot describe the feeling.
