You know that feeling when you start earning your own money and suddenly everything feels possible... the festivals, the flights, the “let’s just go out”? This week’s Money Diarist lived that era hard. Working double shifts, saying yes to everything, and promising herself she’d deal with the debt later. Then later came… with a $10K maxed-out credit card, a $20K car loan, and a reality check that hit harder than the Monday shift after a Sunday sesh. But here’s the plot twist: she turned it all around. These days she’s running a six-figure career, owns her own home, and has an investment property quietly doing its thing in the background. If you’ve been in your “fun now, finances later” era, this diary is full of inspo!
