When you get married and live with someone for several years, you begin to thoroughly identify yourself with that person. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where you end and your spouse begins. Of course, all of this changes after a divorce. Here are a few helpful tips for rebuilding your life after divorce:
Move Out of the House
Even if you passionately lobby for the house during the divorce negotiations, it’s a good idea to move away. Getting a fresh start in your home can help make post-divorce life more bearable. It can also be beneficial financially to find a home that better suits your needs.
Take Up a New Hobby
Whenever couples get married, each spouse makes a number of sacrifices to please the other. Though losing your spouse may be difficult, try to look at your divorce as an opportunity to spend time on your own passions. Your divorce can also be a time for you to take up a new hobby, or do something you previously pushed aside. New things will help you cope and move on.
Reach Out to Family and Friends
Though life after divorce may feel lonely, you should know that you are never alone. Your friends and family are always a phone call away, ready to help you through this tough time. If you’re having a particularly hard time adjusting, there’s no shame in discussing your feelings with an experienced psychologist.

When most people think of bankruptcy, they think of high debt and low income. Because of their fame and assumed wealth, we hardly think of celebrities having to file for bankruptcy. However, whether due to poor financial choices, tough divorces, or lulls in their careers, many celebrities have found themselves deep in dept. Here are three celebrities who have reached the edge of financial ruin and bounced back:
- Nicolas Cage
Famous for films like Leaving Las Vegas (1995) and National Treasure(2004), Nicolas Cage has seen great success over the last 20 years. Unfortunately, after buying castles all over the world and forgetting to pay his taxes, Cage found himself in big trouble. Though he was forced into bankruptcy in 2009, Cage has thoroughly bounced back and is starring in several upcoming releases.
- Larry King
Early in his career, news anchor and talk show host Larry King faced some troubled times. After being accused of stealing money from a business partner in 1978, King accumulated over $300,000 of debt. After getting his debts liquidated through bankruptcy, he went on to become one of America’s most beloved news personalities and spent his career conducting thousands of interviews with the world’s most fascinating figures.
- Donald Trump
When most people think of rich American businessmen, Donald Trump is sure to come to mind. Though he owns several buildings and is never seen without a sharp business suit, he has filed for bankruptcy at least three times in the last 20 years. However, he has managed to come back and succeed in his several business ventures.
