Worst investment ever

In 2012, Emma worked as a banking manager in one of the UK’s leading banks. She was 18 years old and straight from college. Emma had no experience or the right qualifications to do it. She hated working at the bank because she had to put people in debt daily. The worst part was seeing people’s desperation when they couldn’t fulfill their financial obligations. Emma got depression very quickly from that role.

At the same time, she was in a really negative relationship. It was her first serious relationship, and she lived with the person. The man had a lot of debt he hadn’t told Emma about. Soon, the bailiff started turning up at their door demanding payment. Emma wanted to help him get the bailiff off his back, and because she got preferential rates at the bank, she decided to take out a loan on behalf of the boyfriend. She took a £7,000 loan for her boyfriend, thinking it was the adult best decision of her life.

Within a month, they broke up, and he hadn’t paid back a single penny of that loan. Emma found out that he had £30,000 worth of debt. Her depression worsened to the point that she couldn’t even turn up to work, so she had to leave her well-paying job. It became tough to pay the loan off because she wasn’t earning much money. Emma moved back to her parents and picked herself back up. The ex-boyfriend never paid back a single penny to this day.

Lessons learned
  • Don’t focus more on the negative part of a bad situation; instead, focus on the positive.
  • In every situation, ask yourself what is in your control, what you’re able to do in that situation, and What’s the most loving thing you can do for yourself. Then make empowered decisions from that.
