About this audiobook

You do the math again after the kids are finally asleep: the paycheck, the rent, the daycare, the groceries, the gas. It does not reach the end of the month. It almost never does. And every money book on the shelf seems written for two incomes, a partner to split the bills with, or someone without a childcare line that eats a third of the check. You are not failing. You are doing one of the hardest things there is, alone, on one income, and you need numbers, not a lecture. Single Mom on One Income is the practical survival guide for exactly that. It is not a divorce book and not a dating book. It is a plain-language plan for making one paycheck stretch through the lean month, finding the help you actually qualify for, understanding how child support really works, keeping a roof overhead without the one-bedroom guilt, and finally putting a little aside so the next emergency does not wreck you. Inside, you'll learn: Written by someone who has sat at that table with a calculator and a cold cup of coffee, this book will not make you rich. It will make you steadier, harder to knock over, and done guessing.
