That way you can reinvest most of your money into the biz, which is so crucial in the beginning. Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad) lived in his sister's basement for over a year so that he could invest everything (time, money) into his book and business. All of the money you are paying on a mortgage and utilities can now go to start up costs. Sometimes people don't maximize their business ideas and efforts until they really HAVE to. So she has all the reason in the world now and does not have to worry about being thrown out on the street. Yay parents :) Best wishes to her, may she continue to refine her biz plan, work hard and triumph over this temporary situation. May it bring out the best in her.

As a single parent of 2 for the past 14 years I fully embrace her decision. I went from a steady income one day to zero the next (though by voluntary resignation, not divorce) but still my drive to be home with the kidlets was stronger than anything else. Failure was not at option. This lady will heal and soar! She's making the right decision. <abbr><em>Laurie Ayerss last blog post..<a href="http://www.thrivingcandlebusiness.com/funkytown/" rel="nofollow">Funkytown</a></abbr></em> Absolutely without a doubt!

If she can get along with her parents, then that is an ideal situation. My mom and I are good for 6 hours - but luckily she lives close by and I know she always has my back. I wish the mama lots of success and I hope she has a beautiful "reinvention" story to tell in a few short months. :) <abbr><em>Christies last blog post..<a href="http://www.wahmtalkradio.com/blog/are-you-neglecting-a-blog/" rel="nofollow">Are You Neglecting a Blog?</a></abbr></em> That is such a hard place to be in, but kudos to the mom for seeing her way through her misery and wanting to create a business to support her family.

I had only just started my business the first time my husband moved out, in May of 2007. I'd gotten my first major IC contract a week before he left. He was only gone 2 weeks that time, but left permanently in August 2007. I was barely making enough to get by. And I mean barely! The power got turned off for a couple months, then a few months the water got turned off for a couple months. I got eviction notices on three separate occasions, but luckily was able to get the money together to stay in the house. And now? Nearly two years later, we're doing so much better! I still don't make a lot of money, but I make enough to pay the bills, and we moved into a house that I'm buying on land contract. And every time I see him (which is very often, because now that we're divorced we're very close), I think him for leaving me. Because it was the kick in the butt that I needed to get my life heading in the direction I wanted it to head! It's tough being a single mom, but we can do this! <abbr><em>Gwynnes last blog post..<a href="http://www.lemonademama.com/2009/03/07/twitter-updates-for-2009-03-07/" rel="nofollow">Twitter Updates for 2009-03-07</a></abbr></em> I was a SAHM for most of my marriage.
