The Teen Mum Who Went From Centrelink to a Six-Figure Life

Ever feel like everyone else’s life is speeding ahead while you’re stuck in the slow lane? This week’s Money Diarist knows that feeling too well. While her friends were off travelling, she was juggling uni deadlines and midnight feeds. At 17, she was pregnant and kicked out of school for being a “bad example.” Instead of giving up, she finished Year 12 through TAFE, raised her baby, went to uni, and rebuilt her life from scratch, all while living on Centrelink. Fast forward a decade and she’s earning six figures, owns her home, and has cleared every cent of personal debt. But getting here meant facing down shame, comparison, and that constant feeling of being “behind”… so this ep is full of the real talk we all need to hear. This episode is your reminder that it doesn’t matter where you start, you can still build something incredible from right where you are.GET VICTORIA'S BUDGETING SYSTEM: Master your cashflow here.Ready to binge more relatable, inspiring, and downright juicy money stories?
