Accountant to Traveller - How I Made My Money Work For Me
Over the last few months I have transformed my life dramatically, and it all started with the realisation that by managing my finances differently, I could spend money on what really mattered to me.
I was an accountant for 20 years, I fell into it really because I was good at numbers and I wanted to escape the job I hated - working in a supermarket.
I worked with hundreds of mostly small owner managed businesses in my 20 years, and here’s the thing - I never found anyone who was happy about the amount of money they had or who didn’t worry about it all the time. In fact I’ll confess I was the same, no matter how much I earned I never seemed to have money for the things that were important to me - things that I valued. In fact I spent most of my adult life in debt.
At the beginning of the year I made a radical decision to prioritise what was important to me. I sold my accountancy practice, bought a motorhome and have spent the last 8 months travelling. I have explored the UK, experiencing the beauty of the place I call home. I have met up with old friends and new, visited family and found time for self care. I have experienced a life of wealth full of the things that are important to me.
I’ve also been researching money, reading about it, taking courses and combining what I’ve learnt with my years of accountancy knowledge. Money is an emotive subject, it brings about strong feelings, emotions and can be the source of much stress. It’s actually really shocking that something that is so important in our day to day lives isn’t something we are taught about.
I am on a mission to demystify money by creating simple systems that you can use to make sure that you have money for the things in life that are really important to you. And in doing so my intention is that you experience the freedom to live a life that you love, just as I have.
