In today’s episode, we talk with Nikki Ramskill, The Female Money Doc! She is the first ever doctor in the U.K. to be blogging about money. Listen in as she shares how she got into debt in the first place and why she feels it is important to share what she has learned about debt freedom, budgeting and investing for your future.
