Golden Ventures: Cultivating Passion & Possibility

There are so many advantages to aging and today we're talking extra time, extra money, and acting on today! I was talking to a friend a couple of decades younger than myself and we were talking about what you do once you retire so I thought I'd share the ideas that came from that conversation. Sit? Relax?

info_outlineSuch a tough call when to call it quits in a relationship. Timothy Sweets cautioned that if you have to ask if it's over...it's not. When it's over you can feel like a fool. Or sometimes we make foolish decisions because we are blinded by love. Timothy has seen it all through the years of his career as a divorce attorney. On the morning of this interview, he met with previous clients. These clients had been divorced from his services. They got remarried and had another child together. But this morning, he was seeing them to help with their second divorce! Makes you wonder how much money they could have saved by trying to work through things the first time.
Unfortunately, Timothy has a lot of business waiting for him. His advice was to think of what you can't live without and then go to court with those non-negotiables. This will save time and money and alot less billable hours!! And whatever you do cherish your children and realize they are here because of the love you once had with your spouse. "You are not allowed to hate your ex-spouse more than you love your child" from one of the judges in the RI family court.
