I Got Everything I Wanted Then I Burned It All Down

Ever had life give you everything you thought you wanted, only to wonder if it’s what you actually needed? This week’s Money Diary is a juicy, emotional rollercoaster, and trust us—you won’t want to miss it. Our Money Diarist shares her incredible journey of building her dream life, only to find it wasn’t what she truly wanted. After years of saving, buying a dream home, and getting engaged, she made the bold decision to burn it all down, walk away, and start over.

We dive deep into her story, from navigating a breakup after eight years, to figuring out what she really wants in life, and taking control of her finances. How do you handle such a monumental life reset? Can you still achieve your money goals after starting over? This conversation is raw, inspiring, and packed with lessons for anyone rethinking their path.
