In episode five of How to Be Good With Money we meet Kildare woman Áine Hennessy.
Twenty- nine year old Áine lives with her parents in Naas, and works as a self-employed community midwife.
She left a hospital job to pursue a self-employed career and in terms of job satisfaction is very sure she made the right decision.
But has she made the right decision financially?
Áine is struggling to pay debt, and longs to one day own her own home.
Is making a decent income, clearing debt; and saving for a mortgage deposit realistic with Áine’s current earnings and projections….
With Eoin’s help Áine soon realises that making a success of her business is key to ever achieving any of her goals and having a comfortable lifestyle.
Áine doesn’t want to give up on her dream job, and just as Eoin thinks things are looking up she drops a bombshell that Eoin fears could derail the plan.
Can she do enough to get this fledgling business off the ground, or would she be better off working in a hospital?
Will Áine ever learn how to be good with money and make a success of the business she loves so dearly?
