So the short version of this what could be a made for tv movie is that in February I took custody of my niece's children because she is a meth addict. I left Arizona and flew to Iowa and picked up her kids at her request and flew them back to Arizona with me in less than 24 hours. We got a lawyer and retained guardianship.
At this time I was successfully running a business and a non profit and my husband was working and we were child free. Both 42.
Legal fees started to accumulate and the kids needed and still need a lot of support as they are not well adjusted and have PTSD among other issues. They're great girls. They need love.
Money starts flying out the door faster than we can make it. Credit cards accumulate. Husband can't take the pressure and leaves. I have about 60k in equity so I've sold the house. I don't qualify for a new home and have rented temporarily.
After I pay off the legal fees and credit cards I'll still owe on my car but be debt free and have about 10k.
I make 102k last year as a dog trainer. This year because the kids are here I'm set to make about 50k.
What do I do with the 10k?
Any help is appreciated.
