Why Access Wealth was built
The experience that shaped Access Wealth and the standard behind the team.
I grew up in country NSW in a town called Kempsey, home to Slim Dusty and Akubra hats, exciting huh? Kempsey at the time was a small town of about 20,000 people and I lived 30 minutes inland on 150 acres and while it was amazing to have so much bushland to explore, it came with a ton of financial challenges.
My dad built the small 2 bedroom house I grew up in (and he is NOT a builder), and I shared a tiny room with my younger brother and sister. Kempsey didn't offer many job opportunities, so Dad took whatever manual labouring work he could find while Mum stayed home with us kids. As you can imagine, money was always tight. I wore homemade clothes (with fluoro striped shorts and dinosaur shirts) and eating black & gold or no frills cereal (cocoa puffs – not coco pops) with powdered milk. The treat for the week was a hot roast chicken from Woolies on shopping day which was Thursdays.
