She Cried Over a Holiday She Couldn’t Afford… Now She’s on Track to Retire by 40

Have you ever wanted to see what would happen if you actually sat down and did that budget?This week’s Money Diarist actually did it and everything changed. After hitting rock bottom, the stress of trying to keep up finally broke her. One “yes” to a holiday with her partner she couldn’t afford turned into tears in the car and the realisation that something had to give. So she did what any of us would do, opened Google and typed “female finance book”. She came across She's on the Money, read the book and decided to put everything into action... and this is her money diary 5 years on (spoiler: she's thriving).
