What happens when your entire family income disappears overnight?
For Becky and Ruth, it was less of a setback and more of a wake-up call.
At just 19, the sisters found themselves questioning everything they’d been told about careers, money, and success.
What followed was an unexpected journey into property investing – while juggling university lectures, part-time jobs, and a lot of raised eyebrows.
This episode unpacks how a single book – Rich Dad Poor Dad – lit a fire under their ambitions, why they chose property over the corporate ladder, and how they managed to build a business in an industry that rarely makes space for young women.
The conversation digs into more than just bricks and mortar. There’s an honest look at the education system, university debt, and the way we steer young people towards ‘safe’ options that may not serve them.
Questions get raised around who education really serves – and what it fails to teach.
Also in this episode:
- The surprising truth about credit scores
- Why looking the part doesn’t always win investors
- And how being underestimated turned out to be an advantage
All wrapped up in a story of resilience, values, and a bit of sisterly stubbornness.
This isn’t a property podcast. It’s a rethink-everything-you’ve-been-told-about-money podcast.
