Episode 1
When Adwoa got the call from her manager, she couldn't stop smiling.
After six years of working hard, she had finally been promoted.
Her salary had increased by almost 30%.
That evening, she called her best friend, Esi.
โFinally!โ Adwoa said. โNow I can breathe.โ
And she had plans.
The old phone she had been using for years had to go.
She had also been putting off moving into a nicer apartment. Now she could afford it.
Then there was the car she had been eyeing for months.
โIt's okay,โ she told herself. โI'll be able to afford the payments now.โ
For the first time in years, Adwoa felt like she had finally arrived.
Her new salary came in.
And within a few months, her life looked very different.
New phone.
New apartment.
New car.
More dinners.
More weekend outings.
More subscriptions.
More things she had previously told herself she couldn't afford.
She wasn't being reckless, she thought.
She was simply enjoying the money she had worked so hard for.
Then one afternoon, about a year after her promotion, Esi called her.
โAdwoa, how much are you actually able to save every month now?โ
Adwoa laughed.
โSave? Ei, Esi. I thought you were going to ask me how much I earn!โ
They both laughed.
But the question stayed with her.
That evening, Adwoa opened her banking app and started looking at her expenses.
For the first time, she realised something uncomfortable.

And then she asked herself a question she wished she had asked much earlier...
