I was standing in my kitchen the other night making dinner for one, thinking about how much it costs just to exist as a single woman in my 40s.
The rent. The groceries. The car. The bills. The things that break when you least expect them to.
And every single dollar comes from me.
I’m 46, I’ve never been married, and I’ve spent my entire adult life paying for everything on my own.
And while I’m proud of that, I’m also tired sometimes.
I don’t think people realize how hard it can be to build a life on one income. Especially when you’re getting older and thinking about your future.
I love my independence, but that doesn’t mean I don’t wish I had someone to share the weight with sometimes.
So to every single woman over 40 living alone, paying her own bills, and trying to make it all work, I’m proud of you. ❤️
