30 Days to Financial Stability After Divorce for Men

You picked up this book for 1 of 3 reasons. Support checks started and take home dropped 23% in 1 month. Running 2 households now costs 40% more than 1. Or the house you kept at $6,000 per month no longer works at $4,700. Whatever brought you here, you share a shock: the life you led on 2 incomes must now run on 1, and no 1 handed you the new math.
This book is not a lecture about staying positive and not a fantasy about passive income in 7 days. It is not a story about luck and not a plan that says live on rice for a year. What you need is a 30 day sequence from protection to growth, with actions you can do in 15 to 60 minutes a day that hold when support is 22% interest and rent is due in 10 days.
Inside, you'll discover:
• How to close the bleeding in 48 hours: new accounts, passwords, and a pull from all 3 bureaus
• The real number: true take home after tax and support, and why 2 roofs cost more than 1
• The 4 group budget: obligations, housing, daily living, plus 5% to savings from day 1
• The starter fund: $1,000 in 30 days, then 3 to 6 months of essentials
• Support you understand: income shares, duration, garnishment risk, and $500,000 term life
• The QDRO that moves 40% of a $200,000 401(k) so $80,000 compounds for you
• The 90 day no large purchase rule and the 72 hour pause that saves $6,000
• Housing math: $1,700 rent plus $1,500 support is $3,200 before food, and the dashboard lifts savings 12% in 90 days
You will keep a 1 page dashboard, automate $50 per week to savings, and ask for the 8% raise that can become $200,000 in 20 years at 7% compounding. You will save about $300 per year in fees and lift net worth 15% in 12 months. If you want calm money instead of dread, this book gives you the checklist and the language to use with payroll, lenders, and your co parent.
