Work From The Inside Out 105: Using Money To Make A Life with Laura Rotter
As Laura Rotter graduated college with an English Literature degree in the mid-1980s, the U.S. was in an economic recession. It wasn’t the best time to find employment and yet she was fortunate to land a role as editor of a business industry newsletter which opened her up to the business world. Laura was always naturally curious and found herself fascinated about different industries and how they work. She thought it was a lot of fun.
From editing business publications, Laura moved into banking on Wall Street and spent the next decade switching jobs every 18 months to 2 years. It was both an exciting, and interesting time in which she doubled her income. Then life changed. Laura married, started a family, moved to the suburbs and while she loved her work, she noticed there were shifts in the industry. By the last ten of her 30 years on Wall Street, she found that she was working with colleagues who did not share her life views nor her politics and it wasn't that interesting anymore. Laura evaluated her options drawing from other areas of her life that were meaningful to her and became a certified yoga and mindfulness meditation instructor. Laura considered rabbinical school.
Laura realized that abundance wasn't just about accumulating more wealth, but about employing her wealth to do the things she most valued. Her mindset changed from “I must use my life to make money,” to “I can use my money to make a life”.
Laura founded True Abundance Advisors, a fiduciary, fee-only financial planning firm. She's passionate about sharing her financial planning process, which guides her clients toward decisions that integrate the attainment of both financial security AND life satisfaction.
