She's On The Money

She thought she was good with money. Her salary was solid. Her bills were paid. She was even traveling. Life looked fine... until it wasn’t. This week’s Money Diary is all about the slow realisation that earning well doesn’t mean you’re building wealth. After a divorce, a court battle, and two lost properties, she hit financial rock bottom. But what really shook her? Watching a $20K bonus disappear, and not being able to say where it went. That was the moment everything changed. She started tracking every dollar and bought a place to call her own doing the work to build a future she's proud of.  Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?
