MONEY DIARIES: A Decade in Debt to Dream...

Victoria Devine
About this episode

Forget everything you thought you knew, cause this Money Diarist is here to remind you that you write your own script! Growing up with a single mum with 9 credit cards, debt was normalised. She left home at 16 with nothing but the clothes on her back and lived off Centrelink and then found herself in a world of credit cards and personal loans. After spending the last decade in debt, in two years of listening to SOTM, she's been able to double her income, wipe the debt, get an emergency fund and is saving for her first home and financial freedom!
