'I cleared £40K of gambling and shopping debt in just one year'
A mother cleared £40,000 in gambling and shopping debt within a year by reselling clothes online, now earning £10,000 monthly.Summary
Rachel Grady, a 41-year-old mother from Wales, overcame a £40,000 debt accumulated through gambling and shopping addictions by launching a successful second-hand clothing resale business. After battling depression in 2020, she turned to online gambling and compulsive shopping, concealing her losses and debt from her husband. A breakdown in 2023 prompted her to reveal her struggles to a friend and begin selling clothes online. Joining the live-selling platform Tilt in 2024 proved transformative, allowing her to earn £10,000 a month and fully repay her debt by October 2025. She now runs a vintage clothing business, Rachel’s Vintage Moonstone, and advocates for financial responsibility, having implemented measures to prevent relapse into her previous addictive behaviors.
