'I spent money for my kids on my gambling and shopping addiction'
Summary
Rachel Grady, 41, battled a gambling and shopping addiction that led to £40,000 in debt, hidden from her husband. Following a nervous breakdown in 2023, she began selling second-hand clothes, initially through eBay and then through the live-selling platform Tilt. She quickly found success, earning up to £10,000 a month and clearing her debt within a year. Grady attributes her success to a natural talent for selling and a newfound frugality, having implemented measures to prevent relapse into her addictive behaviors. She now runs a vintage clothing business, Rachel's Vintage Moonstone, and has openly shared her story and journey on social media.
