Kerry quit her job in 2022 because it wasn't what she wanted to do. She had no appetite for conflict-based HR work and was tired of working part time. After a three month break, she returned to full-time work with a fixed-term contract that ends in 2023 earning $160,000 gross.

They have an emergency fund but their credit card ran dry over Christmas. Their financial journey continues on next week's episode.
