“When I look back, I think he must have started planning the separation well beforehand,” says Janie. “It wasn’t until we split up and I started looking into our finances that I was aware of how manipulative he had been and how much debt we had.”
Thankfully, things began to look up when Janie talked to Christine, an acquaintance who was also a local Financial Mentor. “I hadn’t realised there were organisations like NTM to help people like me. Charging no interest and no fees has been a game changer, as every payment reduces the loan, rather than just paying off fees or interest.” 💯
