She Was Avoiding Her Bank App and Blowing Her Budget... Now She’s Saved $60K

Ever felt like you’re doing everything right with money… and still wondering where it all went? This week’s Money Diarist shares what it’s really like to feel stuck in a cycle of emotional spending, hidden purchases, and guilt — even while working hard toward big financial goals. She found herself secretly spending $500 a fortnight, avoiding her bank app, and feeling like she’d never break the habit. But with some hard truths, a little therapy, and a seriously smart savings system, she turned it around — managing to save $60,000 and start building the future she actually wanted. We also unpack life with a $1.1 million mortgage, how she’s balancing career dreams with financial goals, and yes… whether that designer handbag really counts as an “investment.” Press play, this is your reminder that even if it feels hard right now, change is always possible.
