How to Afford Your Midlife Crisis

A Fearless Financial Guide for Women Who Won't Settle

Description

Learn to navigate your midlife crisis through vetted financial guidance and personal stories of reinvention.

Whether it's job loss, divorce, a dire medical diagnosis, dealing with aging parents, or burning out in a dead-end career, almost all of us will experience some kind of crisis at the rough midpoint of life. And most of us are not financially ready to deal with it.

In How to Afford Your Midlife Crisis: A Fearless Financial Guide for Women Who Won't Settle, financial expert Kimberly Palmer uses facts and advice, humor and real-world stories, and a huge amount of financial savvy to show that you can survive a midlife crisis-and in fact, come out better for it. Each chapter's takeaways and tips make it easy for readers to apply the lessons to their own lives, while personal stories from women who found ways to reinvent themselves after career shifts, job loss, divorce, and financial hardship provide the inspiration we all need.

Whether a midlife crisis is precipitated by internal factors like wanting something new or external ones like job loss, the economic ramifications are significant. And the tough reality is that in this day and age, women are hitting midlife at a time of extreme economic uncertainty. But with the right planning, you can turn the classic midlife “moment” into an opportunity, even if it includes unexpected turns along the way.
