Hello and welcome to She's on the Money, the podcast that lets you be pervy about other people's money stories for educational purposes, of course.
Welcome back to another one of our money diaries brought to you by our friends at Sky Wealth, where I get the absolute privilege of sitting down with one of our incredible She's on the Money community members and talking to them all about their journey. Now let's jump straight into it because this week I got a message and it sounded exactly like this.

Hi, She's On The Money. After leaving a financially abusive marriage after a relationship of 14 years, I moved back home with my parents and changed jobs out of desperation.
Chapter 4: What pivotal moment led the guest to leave her relationship?
I was broken emotionally and financially. After two years, I have a $50,000 deposit saved. I started my share portfolio and I want to buy my own place for me and my dog and work towards financial freedom.

I'm so proud of you. I am so flipping proud of you. That is genuinely my favorite thing ever. I think it'll never get old, right? Like being in this beautiful community of people, hearing messages and stories on a weekly basis of people saying, oh, I got out of a financially abusive relationship. Like, What do you mean that like I got to play even a teeny tiny small part of that?
Like that's wild to me.
Yeah, you are a big part of it in fact. Stop. Yeah, no, and definitely we'll get to that. But I'm so grateful to be part of this community. I'm very shush about my situation.
Chapter 8: What advice does the guest have for others in similar situations?
I don't talk about it. Like my parents know and maybe like one friend and that's it. So take it as a testament to what you do that I'm ā
actually feeling you're comfortable enough to share this with me i'm ready to go oh my queen i am so excited all right let's have a chat first cab off the rank as always if you guys hear a little sob or a little cry our friend campbell has decided to join us for this recording because she simply won't get put down today. And this working mom is just working. She's doing so good.
She's doing it all. I'm just trying my hardest, guys. What grade would you give your money habits if I asked you to give them a grade from A through to F?
I think these days, maybe a B with some known areas for improvement.
All right. I need to learn more about that because like right now you sound like an A plus to me. Now let's step back in time. Hopefully it is not too hard to talk about, but tell me a little bit more about your money story and the things that have impacted it.
yeah so interesting to unpack a little bit in my mind and I obviously contacted you and I was thinking that through of how to even try and like journey through some of what I've been through I mean growing up you know we weren't very well off but we were really loved by my parents and we worked hard so I mean I when I was a teenager so you were rich So you were rich in love. Exactly. Exactly.
But it did teach the value of money and things. So I worked three jobs when I was in high school. I got a little Safeway job and I got a job at a little local produce store and a Saturday shift at a real estate agent. And I just worked really hard. So work ethic through the roof. Yeah. Thanks mom and dad for that. So saved up for my first car. And then I was, you know,
pining to get to uni and sort of start life and then things took like a little bit of a turn because I fell in love.
You know what? It does dirty things to us sometimes, doesn't it?
