I am a divorced, now single woman, was in a relationship with a man for seven years. He needed to borrow money.

I know how you feel about that, but I did it anyway because I thought we were going for the long haul.

$200,000 later,

he lost all the money. He was doing some crypto something, lost all the money. He has since ended the relationship, so now I am out $200,000, which was basically the majority of what I had. I gave the money with my heart so I can

say, I'm leaving it in God's hands. If I get the money back, he is making monthly payments,

but he's basically just paying me back the interest at this point. But with the money that I do

have left to my name, I'm 55 years old, and I approximately have $95,000 left to my name.

I would like to know how can I make that money work better for me

so that I'm not working forever and ever and ever,

which I may have to be, but I want to make sure that I'm

doing the right thing with what I have left.

Wow.

That's a sad story of how we got here.

It is.

It is.

And I really thought that I was going to be going the long haul.

I still love him.

I'm still in contact with him, obviously.

He has his own financial problems.

Yeah, I think.

Yeah.
