Why the Holidays Hit Harder After Divorce

The season that once brought joy can now feel heavy - emotionally and financially.


Between gifts, travel, and shared custody schedules, it’s easy to overspend or feel stretched thin. But you deserve peace of mind, not pressure.

This guide helps you protect your financial stability while still creating meaningful moments with your family. Because surviving the holidays shouldn’t mean sacrificing your future.

“This isn’t about being frugal - it’s about being free to focus on what really matters.”
