Hi folks,
long story short my relationship of 18 years with my partner has ended, a third party was involved (not on my part) I’m now left living on my own (which I’m really struggling with at present as at the age of 37 I’ve never had to live on my own). My partner earned a lot more than me (approximately x4). I actually own the property I live in with no mortgage through an inheritance. My ex has no interest in the house and will lay claim to no part of it.
Here’s the problem.
I earn a relatively low income and will be unable to afford the bills on my own much past Christmas. I know I have options but Im not sure where to start really. I don’t really want to stay in the house on my own as it holds too many memories so my plan was to sell up and move in with family down south, obviously this depends on getting a job in the new location.
I reckon I’ll be left with £200k when all is settled and I’d like to supplement my income somehow with funds generated from the sale of the house.
Doees anyone have any idea on how best I could make this money work for me as some kind of investment?
We have no kids and only a vehicle is our only shared finance which we’ve arranged to sell.
Thanks.
