Now that I am a single mom, I think about a lot of things that I never had to think about before. Like what would happen to my kids if I die. I know they would go to my ex, because he is their father, but I want to be able to leave them something. Right now, I don't have any type of life insurance. I know, I know. I really need to check out a term life insurance calculator and see what my options are. I know I can't afford to pay too much each month, but I am sure there are policies I can afford.
I also think about what would happen if I get hurt or sick. Who would take care of me and pay my bills? I used to be able to depend on my ex for that, but now I only have myself. I'm sure my mom and dad would do what they could to help me, but I want to be able to do things on my own. I've kind of become obsessed with that since my husband left. I don't think anyone thought I would be able to live on my own with my kids without constant help, but I am. Sure, I have needed a little help now and then, but I am basically doing it on my own, and that, my friends, is an awesome feeling.
