A Week In Her Wallet: How A 41-Year-Old Chiropractor Balances Family Life and Finances

This week, we’re bringing you the first episode of our new series: A Week In Her Wallet, where real women track their spending for seven days — every swipe, tap, and temptation — and then reflect on not just what they bought, but why.

In this episode, we're joined by Lizzie, a 41-year-old chiropractor, mom of two, and small-town New Englander who is all about spending with intention. She's self-employed, passionate about local businesses, and has a refreshing perspective on budgeting for real life.

Lizzie walks us through:

• Why she skipped $1,000 concert tickets — and doesn’t regret it
• How her family handles finances and decision-making together
• What self-care looks like to her
• Her candid thoughts on gift-giving pressure from her family
• Why her week felt like a love letter to her town

Plus, she reflects on where money seems to “leak” most easily and why she doesn’t mind spending on the things that truly bring value.
