“When my daughter was just five years old, I decided to save money for her future home. I started working part-time jobs to make this dream a reality. Little did I know, years later, her husband would want to sell the home I worked so hard to provide.”

From a young age, they get used to having everything handed to them. But when it’s time to face the real world, a mountain of challenges appears on the horizon.
Five years ago, my in-laws borrowed a significant amount of money from us, recounts 32-year-old Emily. At that time, it was a lot for us. It was money from my maternity leave benefits and our savings. The money was just sitting there. My in-laws urgently needed to fix something in their vacation cabin
I couldn’t work full-time because our baby was still young, so I had to rely on my husband. His bonuses used to help us a lot, but things changed.

I don’t think having a child with our current income is a good idea. We’ve been together for two years – dating for one year, then
Married for 15 years and parents to a lovely daughter, we’ve never been wealthy but managed to save a bit. Recently, life has taken a turn, and our savings are dwindling fast.

My mother-in-law, Anna, has fallen ill again, and despite past differences, we’re stepping up to cover her medical expenses.
I’ve been married for five years and have been the sole breadwinner throughout our marriage. My husband, who is seven years older than me, works but doesn’t contribute to our household expenses. He has a child from a previous marriage and moved in with me after his divorce. When we started dating, I thought things would change, but
