A Week In Her Wallet: With A Clinical Researcher Who Makes Over $150k And Travels Nearly Full-Time For Work
Description
This week on A Week In Her Wallet, we head to Atlanta to follow Kristen, a 40-something clinical researcher who earns about $150K a year and travels nearly full-time for work.
She walks us through a week of thoughtful spending, including a $1,300 mortgage payment, $500 toward her HELOC, a $150 yard sale win (promptly spent on music festival tickets), and the small joys that keep her grounded when she’s on the road so much.
💬 In this episode:
- Why she bought a home on her own at 30
- How she’s navigating a HELOC payoff
- The hidden costs of business travel (and the perks)
- Her favorite splurges and values-based spending
- What she’s learned from tracking her money for one week
