About the Book

You're doing the impossible — raising a family on your own while holding everything together.

But when money feels tight, stress runs high, and every bill brings panic, it’s easy to believe you’ll never get ahead.

What if you could take control — even on a single income?

Financial Freedom Roadmap is the practical, judgment-free guide designed specifically for single parents who are tired of surviving and ready to thrive.

No unrealistic advice. No “just cut the lattes” nonsense. Just real strategies that work in real life — even if you’re starting from $0.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • ✅ The 5 Pillars of Financial Freedom — a simple framework to rebuild stability
  • ✅ Budgeting that fits your life — not another rigid spreadsheet
  • ✅ How to pay off debt — even with child support delays or irregular income
  • ✅ Build an emergency fund on $5/week — because you don’t need a lot to start
  • ✅ Side hustles that work for parents — flexible, low-cost, and doable
  • ✅ How to repair credit, grow income, and plan for the future — even when it feels impossible
  • ✅ Printable worksheets & trackers — to take action without apps or stress

This book includes real stories from single parents who’ve been where you are — and found their way out. You’ll learn how to:

  • Stop living paycheck to paycheck
  • Save without shame
  • Protect your kids — and your future
  • Build confidence, one small win at a time

You don’t need more willpower.

You need a better plan.

And this is it.

Whether you’re a single mom, single dad, or co-parenting alone , this roadmap gives you the tools, mindset, and momentum to create lasting financial freedom.

Take the first step today. Your future self — and your kids — will thank you.

? Perfect for readers who love: The Budget Mom, Dave Ramsey, Rachel Cruze, or Erin Lowry’s Broke Millennial

About the Author

Marius Andronie

Marius Andronie is the founder of Devaland, a small software company in Romania that builds AI systems businesses can actually leave running: assistants that answer calls and chats from a company's own data, document pipelines, integrations and AI agents. He also builds Deal OS, a due-diligence platform for people buying small companies, where every claim in the brief is cited to its source page or cut. His courses teach the method behind that work: choosing the first job worth giving an AI system, and making it safe enough to leave alone.

Before software, he was a Romanian Army officer engineer, a graduate of the Military Technical Academy in Bucharest, and then spent twenty years typesetting scientific and mathematical books for academic publishers. Both taught him the same habit: understand the system first, and never trust a number you cannot trace.

He lives near Deva, in Transylvania, in a home that runs close to off-grid on solar power, batteries and a heat pump, and he also writes short, practical workbooks for real problems: getting a household ready for outages, managing money on one income, budgeting by biblical principles, gratitude and CBT practice in later life, and grief after losing a pet.
