This is one of those Money Diaries that starts with a decision that feels sensible at the time… and slowly reveals just how much weight it carries. When her partner suggested using her inheritance to buy property together, it felt like the right next step. The grown up one. The kind you make when you’re building a future with someone. Then the relationship ended, and that decision didn’t disappear with it. In this episode, she walks us through what happens next. The parts of property ownership no one explains when you’re in love. The confidence knock that comes from being told you’re “bad with money.” And the reality of having to step up financially before you feel ready. She also shares the systems she built to make money feel manageable again, especially with a brain that doesn’t love numbers, and the lessons she wishes she’d known before saying yes. This one is full of the stuff you don’t realise you need to know until you really, really do.
