Household finances and goals now

If you’ve ever looked at your debt and thought how did I even get here, this one’s for you. Because that’s exactly where our Money Diarist found herself when she realised she was about $60,000 deep. There was a car. A wedding. Setting up a home. All the things that feel like you’re just meant to do as you build a life. Until one day she zoomed out and realised a life in debt wasn’t what she wanted for her family. Once she started learning how money actually works, everything shifted. She wasn’t bad with money like she’d always thought. She’d just never been taught. This episode is about what happens when financial literacy starts to click. How she tackled the debt without spiralling into shame. How a few strategic moves changed everything. And why when life later threw her a serious curveball, having those foundations already in place made all the difference.
