This stunning story is one to learn from. This community member was widowed at 34 after her husband died suddenly and unexpectedly. They had just built their dream home, were planning a family and overnight she was widowed, in a financial crisis, relying on Centrelink, and three weeks pregnant. With the help of good financial preparation, a solid emergency fund and much resilience, three and a half years on she's a happy solo Mumma to a beautiful three year old daughter, and earning a 6-figure salary.
