We Had £40,000 of Debt and Nobody Knew

from Making Money · host Damien Jordan & Timeyin Akerele from Most

Megan was in her early 30s when she and her partner finally faced up to more than 14 years of debt. After years of overdrafts, credit cards and quietly spiralling finances, they confronted nearly £40,000 they owed. Megan documented their journey out of debt (@that_girl_in_debt), and now they’ve taken their first steps into investing and hope to save £40,000.

We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research.
