What happens when you hit rock bottom with money… and decide to completely turn your life around?
In this week’s Money Diary, we meet a She’s on the Money community member who left home at just 16, became a young single mum, and found herself living below the poverty line with no financial literacy, mounting debt and her power literally being cut off.
Fast forward to today… she’s built a career in banking, earns $95,000 a year, owns her home, has repaired her credit score and is now investing for her future.
This is a story about resilience, rebuilding and what it really looks like to go from financial chaos to financial confidence.
Plus, we talk budgeting, credit cards, investing strategies and how to take control of your money even when you feel completely overwhelmed.
If you’ve ever felt behind, ashamed of your money situation, or unsure where to start… this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to turn things around.
