Hello all, I'm quite new around here so I hope this is the right forum. I'm coming to the end of a relationship, early signs look like we might be able to manage the parting of ways in a reasonably civil way ?? We've lived together for eight years, own a small house jointly but each own a small place of our own. Not sure yet whether one of us will buy the other out or sell up and move on separately. My house (in France ?❤️) has just sold so I'll have some cash to manage that. So I'll have somewhere to live which I'll own outright, big plus. But, for a myriad of reasons, I'll only have the state pension (a bit under the full amount too having lived overseas for years), and a very small occupational pension which I hope I might be able to add to slightly over the next few years. I do have a small income at the moment from a part time job. I'm currently 60 so another six years to go till official pension age!
I guess my question is, whether anyone has any words of wisdom about starting again alone. I was doing a decent job of it for several years as a single parent before my partner came along so I know I can do it again and I know how to live frugally. But I'm that bit older now, and I think I've been woefully ignorant about money and pensions ? Any and all tips and encouragement welcome - I'm feeling a bit daunted, although believe me moving on from the last few years is most definitely the right thing to do.
