In their midlife stage, if someone had a life altering event and are forced to start-over, it can be heart-wrenching, not to mention the emotional baggage it comes with. In this MSN Money column, titled ‘Uncommon Sense’, Dunleavey and her friends narrate the travails of a woman in her midlife going through her divorce and left with the responsibility of being a single parent with no job. Dunleavey elaborates on this 5 step process that is helping this woman keep her focus on important aspects and straighten out the mess she is in. Some of the steps are easy to understand and makes sense, but very rarely do people follow them. Some of it is facing the problem head on and addressing it courageously. Though this story is about a woman trying to recover from her divorce and short on income, this process can be equally helpful to other people that want to get their finances in order. All the best.
