Lauren Gadkowski Lindsay is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ with 22 years of experience. She is passionate about comprehensive, fee-only financial planning and excited to bring the Beacon Financial Planning experience to Houston, Texas. Lauren grew up on Cape Cod and worked with her mother and founder of Beacon Financial Planning, Linda Gadkowski.
As a former teacher, Lauren has a knack for explaining financial concepts in a way that clients can easily understand. She loves creating customized financial plans and helping clients to achieve their goals is her favorite part of the job.
Lauren Lindsay, CFP® at Beacon Financial Planning, was recently featured in The Wall Street Journal's article on spending and inflation.
"Lauren Lindsay, a financial planner in Houston, encourages clients to consider alternatives when long-distance vacations get canceled or the new car they want is unavailable due to shipping delays. She asks whether they’d consider a different car or plan to drive their existing one longer. Or she might suggest a shorter vacation until the mega-trip can happen.
Letting people talk and brainstorm alternatives helps, she said: “People just need to vent and be heard.”
Nearly two years after first hearing news stories about the COVID-19 virus and hoping it would only take a handful of weeks to “flatten the curve,” we’re still navigating the muddy waters of new variants and uncertainty about its impact on our daily lives and the future of how we conduct business, how we can travel safely and how we make decisions about when to convene with friends and loved ones. While we are certainly not back where we started, the current climate does feel a little too familiar – not a repetition of 2020, but a bit of a rhyme. We are hopeful that each COVID variant and surge in positive cases brings with it less severe symptoms and the ability for our world’s population to begin to heal.
