What’s Worth More Than £150 Billion?

Imagine I offered you a deal. You wake up tomorrow with Warren Buffett’s fortune – a cool £150 billion. Private jets, mansions, the power to buy almost anything.

But there’s one catch:

You also wake up in Buffett’s body… at 94 years old.

 Would you take it?

Most people wouldn’t. Because deep down, we all know something Buffett himself has admitted:

“I can buy anything I want – except time.”

How much time do you really have?

If you live to 85, here’s roughly how many seconds you have left

  • At 40 – about 1.4 billion seconds
  • At 50 – about 1.1 billion seconds
  • At 60 – about 800 million seconds
  • At 70 – about 500 million seconds

When it comes to time, many of us are time-millionaires – some even time-billionaire! But it only sounds impressive until you realise how quickly the last decade disappeared. Every second slipping by now is one you’ll never get back.

 That’s why I believe the real measure of wealth isn’t money. It’s time.

Helping you reclaim your time

Part of my role as a financial planner is to help clients free up their time – to spend less of it worrying about “Will I have enough?” and more of it doing the things they love most.

For some that’s travelling the world, for others it’s time with family, or even just the freedom to slow down and enjoy life’s smaller moments. Whatever it looks like for you, the goal is the same: more time for the things (and people) that matter most.

And with that in mind, I’ve made a small but important change in my own business…

Meet Hannah

To free up more of my own time to focus on clients, I’m delighted to introduce Hannah(not to be confused with my wife – also Hannah – who I’m certain would be my ex-wife if we worked together!).

 Hannah will be helping behind the scenes completing some administration duties and contacting clients to arrange review meetings. At some point, you’ll probably receive an email from her – so please do keep an eye out for her name.
