She didn’t go to uni. She’s 26, bought a home young, and has been building her money confidence piece by piece. But when her dad passed away and left her an inheritance, she found herself completely stuck. Not because she doesn’t care — but because the pressure to use it “right” is heavier than she expected. This week’s Money Diary is about grief, guilt, and trying to make a smart money decision when your heart’s still catching up. It’s honest, emotional, and packed with the kind of real-life money moments no spreadsheet can prepare you for.
