Hi, I’m Laura. Welcome to The Money Stack!
I’m an award-winning personal finance and small business writer, podcaster, and speaker.

Meet Laura Adams
I’m one of the nation’s leading personal finance and small business authorities.

Money Girl has 43 million downloads and is one of the 0.1% top most popular podcasts.
I’m the author of several books, including Money-Smart Solopreneur: A Personal Finance System for Freelancers, Entrepreneurs, and Side-Hustlers (Entrepreneur Press, 2020), a No. 1 Amazon New Release. My first book, Money Girl’s Smart Moves to Grow Rich (St. Martin’s Press, 2010), won the prestigious Excellence In Financial Literacy Education (EIFLE) Award.
I frequently contribute to national media sources seeking my advice on various personal finance and small business topics for TV, radio, online articles, and print publications. I’ve completed thousands of interviews and been featured on most major news outlets, including ABC, Bloomberg, CBS, Consumer Reports, Forbes, Fortune, FOX, Money, MSN, NBC, NPR, NY Times, USA Today, US News, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and more.
My mission is to empower people to live healthy and rich lives by making the most of what they have, planning for the future, and making smart money decisions. I received an MBA from the University of Florida and live with my husband in Vero Beach, Florida. It’s a beautiful place where I enjoy living on the beach, listening to podcasts and audiobooks, reading, cooking, and watching great movies and television.
