Very true. I just hit 50 yrs, unmarried and in a rented apt. I in the back of my mind unconscious I really did just assume I'd get married one day and his income would help buy a house. Oh well, instead of spending my life saving smartly for a home, I guess now's the time to start saving for retirement.
Sad but true so many women do actually wait for the white knight to save them financially. Great series!
When doing a budget it is a work in process. You can't do it just one month. It takes several months of evaluating it. You can do the first budget in one weekend, but still save receipts and tweak it every month for a year.
