It’s not about money but how happy you are in your career.  The best currency is what you can offer other people, to help others. I heard that and now have learned that ,because I realize that my best times in life was when I struggle more just trying to get by. So I suggest to think and look for what would make you happy and more full filled in life . You came out of a hurtful relationship and you are doing right by focusing on yourself and have new goals.  You are not dumb for being in the situation you are in , you made choices from the heart and it didn’t work out for what you had hoped.  So set the past in the past and move forward with your future,  which ever path you choose.
