Cupid’s Advice:
Among the many challenges people face following a break-up, rebuilding your life and finances are some of the most difficult. If you are looking for some ways to get back on the right track following a break-up, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Scale down: Whether it is downsizing where you’re living or canceling a few memberships/subscriptions, scaling down might be necessary following a financially dependent break-up. Don’t be disheartened by the need to cut back in a few areas after a relationship ends. Scaling down is only temporary, and these novelties can be added back into your life once you’re on your feet again.

2. Create a new budget: Your style of living usually changes following a break-up, especially if you were living with your ex partner. These changes will also mean you need to recess your budget and spending habits. By keeping track of your new sources of income and expenses, you will feel like you have more control of your finances moving forward.
