Home Budgets with Lauren Pearson from The Wealth Edit - Episode 192

Let's talk about recession-proofing our budget, and things that we can do that really make a difference when salaries are tighter and we may not have as much wiggle room in our finances. Today's guest is Lauren Peterson. She is a Certified Financial Planner™ and, in addition to her work with The Wealth Edit, runs a boutique, full-service financial firm, HighTower Somerset Advisory, in Birmingham, Alabama. Lauren has designed and crafted hundreds of financial planning scenarios in her decade-plus career in the field and is deeply committed to the clients she serves through her work. After years of drafting hundreds of plans for families, Lauren saw the deep need for women to have a space of their own to understand wealth outside the context of a traditional advisory relationship. As important as her work is to her, her faith and her family come first in her life – her husband, Andrew, and their three smart and brave daughters are the No. 1 priority in her life. The Wealth Edit is an online, membership-based community that educates women on how to develop a modern skillset for their personal finances. Women of all ages gather, learn, and plan their financial journey through virtual courses, weekly guest speakers, and educational content. They are the opposite of stuffy and stodgy. They are relatable, approachable, and anything but uptight. Visit them at wealthedit.com or on social media @wealthedit!
