This Money Diarist left us utterly speechless! Having survived an abusive relationship, she was lumped with $120,000 in debt on credit cards she didn't even know existed. It took 7 years and ended up costing her $250,000, but she is finally debt free. And you'd better believe she is living her best life; in her dream job, as a home owner, with a wonderful partner AND with a successful side hustle. Oh...and she may even out-game the SOTM girls when it comes to a good spreadsheet!

Warning: this episode contains discussion of domestic violence
