Would you leave a job you love, move countries while pregnant, and bet on someone else’s career dream... with the hope it could all pay off big? This week’s Money Diary is a bold one. Our diarist packed up her life in Australia to move to San Francisco for her husband’s startup job, trading career security for the chance at something bigger. Now, she’s navigating life without an income, American healthcare, wild rent, and double tax returns... all while preparing to become a mum. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the biggest money moves aren’t about what’s in your account. They're about what could be, if the risk pays off.
