When Your Dream Job Isn’t Enough to Pay the Bills

This week’s Money Diarist has a surprising twist: her biggest financial hurdle isn’t overspending or splurging... it’s her other job! By day, she’s a full-time public servant, but by night, she’s a comedian chasing her dream—even when it costs her more than it earns. From the challenges of balancing passion and practicality to the financial highs and lows of creative work, this story is equal parts relatable and inspiring. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to follow your heart (and still pay the bills).
