Mum from Wales clears £40k gambling debt and now makes £10k a month selling clothes
A Welsh mum overcame a £40,000 gambling and shopping debt by launching a successful vintage clothing resale business, now earning £10,000 monthly.Summary
Rachel Grady, a mother from Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, battled a gambling and shopping addiction that led to a £40,000 debt. Initially turning to online gambling during a period of depression, she concealed her habit from her husband for five years while accumulating debt through credit cards and loans. After a breakdown in 2023, she confronted her financial situation and leveraged her knack for selling, starting by reselling clothes purchased on eBay. Her business grew significantly after joining the live-selling platform Tilt in October 2024, allowing her to earn up to £10,000 a month. She successfully cleared her entire debt by October 2025 and has since transformed her relationship with money, becoming frugal and implementing measures to prevent relapse into gambling. She now shares her journey online as @rachel_vintagemoonstone.
