Hi, I’m Baubre
(pronounced Barbra)
Why do some people go through life seemingly with no financial worries and others never seem to have any money and survive pay day to pay day? This is a question I’ve been asking myself throughout my 25 years as an accountant.
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but being in a better financial position can give you choices about how you live your life, when you retire, how you contribute to the world and what you can do to help others.
You can be master of your time.
This site shares my experiences over the last 25 years: how those that earn a lot don’t necessarily have any more than those who earn a modest income, that attitude and a consistent approach trump income and assets, and while time is your friend, it’s never too late to take action. Start today to create your financially sustainable future.
I am a Chartered Accountant (and Fellow of Chartered Accountants ANZ), a Registered Financial Adviser and a Chartered Member of the Institute of Directors.
