Hey, Iām Mel.
Bestselling author ofĀ āUnf&ck Your Finances,āĀ multi-award winning entrepreneur, serial over-dresser and awkward introvert.
I also happen to be an ex-financial advisor & ex-accountant who went from having less than nothing in my 30s to creating financial independence in my 40s.
And I mean NOTHING.
After donating every cent of my divorce settlement and my bank accounts to charity, I was left with:
š§ No money for a rental bond
š§ No money for wages for my team (or even for myself!)
š§ No money for business cashflow
And no way ofĀ asking for my money back!
While my peers were ticking off financial & life milestonesā¦Ā (Weddings! Babies! Houses!)
I found myself bunking in a āfrat houseā with five flatmates and five-figures of debt, wondering how the heck I was supposed to start all over again in my late 30s.
After a mini meltdown (or ten!), I realised I had two choices:
Option #1
I could either surrender to my circumstances, curl up into a ball, and call it quitsā¦
Option #2
I could face my financial fears head-on and fight to turn my life around.
I created my own financial plan by mapping out my current financial assets (less than $0), my incomeĀ (which was way too low), my financial goals, and figuring out how to bridge that gap.
I found creative and scrappy ways to earn money so I could afford to eat something other than $3 packets of instant noodles.
I buried my nose into every finance book out there to claw my way out of debt and even made costly mistakes trying to invest in the stock market.
NoneĀ of it was easy.
Even with a financial background, looking at my *own* finances triggered shame, fear, and a deep,Ā deepĀ desire to run away from it all.
But I knew if I ever wanted to achieve *my* version of financial independence, I had to take a long hard look at my financial patterns and my relationship with money.
Fast-forward to today, Iāve become a financially independent multi-millionaire in my 40s, with multiple income streams!
More importantly?
Mapping out my financial plan and the specific strategies needed to reach my goals didnāt just give me financial independence...
It gave me something far more valuable:
Freedom of CHOICE
Now, I get to choose whether or not I continue working. When and where to travel. How to spend my money. And whether to pack it all up and live in a small cottage in Europe if I wanted to!Ā
I know that's what you're yearning for too...
That's why, along with Lauren Law (AKA Lawsie), I've made it my mission to help you become financially empowered so you can CHOOSE the life you want AND have the finances to back it up too!
Hey, Iām Lauren Law
AKA Lawsie!
Proud mum of a cocker spaniel and a big fan of the simple pleasures in life (like kicking back in my comfiest jeans and flats and weekends away camping)!
Iām *also* an ex-accountant and financial advisor who has cracked the money management puzzle in my 30s.
By tapping into the power of a personalised financial plan, Iāve been able to:
āØ Set crystal clear financial goals and identify how much is āenough.ā
āØ Build up financial assets thatāll fund *my* version of financial independence.
āØ Develop financial habits that allow me to enjoy lifeās pleasures today while still saving money for future me!
The result?
Once Iām in my 40s, I too will be financially independent, with the choice to travel, to work or clock out for an early retirement!
