How to finally get on top of debt
Description
In the aftermath of the financial crash, Ann-Marie Gaynor was getting over a marital breakdown, lone parenting three children under 7 and in five-figure debt. A self-described Celtic Tiger baby, Gaynor says she only ever saw her credit card limit as a target and would apply for a new card once she'd maxed out another. In this episode she shares how she turned her life around; kicking the debt, clearing her mortgage and now encouraging her social media followers to regain control of their finances too. The Longford woman who goes by the name @IrishBudgetingMammy is sure others can tackle their debt even now during this cost of living crisis.
Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Produced by Declan Conlon and Aideen Finnegan.
