brought to you by the every dollar app start budgeting for free today i um feel like i'm on the edge

of losing everything um i have uh very much been uh financially responsible um to my best extent. But I find myself in a very difficult career

situation, and I'm very afraid of making the wrong step and everything falling apart.

Wow. Where did all of this loss of confidence come from?

Actual financial facts or something else? I think it's something else. I have, I have,

or have had a great career, but I have been unemployed now for eight months. What is your career?

What's your career?

So I work in M&A and also, let's just say IT.

What were you making?

245,000 a year.

Okay.

That doesn't sound like someone that's about to fall off a cliff to me, but then you hadn't had a job very much.

Why?

Honestly, it's been a lot of factors.

It's been a tough job market, first of all, but part of the reason is that I'm

located in Dallas.

It's high competition here, but also I have not wanted to move.

I've wanted to stay in the Dallas area, so I haven't looked outside of Dallas, and I have two teenagers,

but I'm really struggling not to have to move them and change their schools and all of those things.

And so you're a single mom.

How long you've been divorced?

That's correct.
