This episode’s anonymous interviewee shares the emotional and financial costs of divorce with the Money Medics. She went from being part of a two-parent household where her ex was the main breadwinner,  to raising a child alone with only minimal support. But as her opportunities have narrowed and she works all she can to pay for nursery fees, her ex-husband continues to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle.

How do you balance financial preparedness with going ‘all in’ on a relationship? what questions should you ask before you commit? The Money Medics discuss whether you can have a f**k off fund in a relationship without compromising it.
