She kept the house. It cost her $400,000. 💅
Here's how the math actually works — and nobody shows you this at the kitchen table:
She fought for the $500,000 house in the divorce. Won it. Felt like a victory.
But she couldn't refinance it on one income. The payments were too high. Two years later? Foreclosure. All that equity — GONE. Two hundred thousand dollars of wealth, wiped out because she made the biggest financial decision of her divorce with her heart instead of a plan.
Now run it the other way: sell the house, split the equity, walk away with ~$200,000 to start over. New beginning. No anchor. No foreclosure on your record.
The house isn't the prize. The PLAN is the prize.
If you're divorcing and you own a home — call me BEFORE you decide. Not after. Before.
