Entering the waters

I saw a friend yesterday who has recently gone through a divorce. Her immediate advice:

Try to stick it out until you are done with school.

I am going to call her to get together next week to see how I should handle this. She told me she made tons of mistakes and didnt plan well. One thing I know. She is always struggling financially. She told me "Prepare to be poor."

I think her ex makes the same as mine. Probably a little less. But he plays a lot of games with the money. I dont think mine is the type to hold back checks, etc. - he's more the type to get automatic withdrawal. But we'll see.

I told my oldest I'm done. He also advised me to finish up school. He said I've waited so long, why not wait another two years?
