And you can if you start now to think about what type of life you would like.

My mom has everything wrong with her due to not taking care of herself - it was not about money, it was about marrying an alcoholic and getting beat up every day.

I made a promise to myself that I would not put myself in such a position of dependency and to this day, even with a wonderul man in my life - I fight to maintain my finances.

I need to know I can be on my own if needed.....
