Laura H. Gilbert

Laura H. Gilbert lives in Minnesota where she worked as a musician, professor, creative consultant, attorney, and policy analyst. Laura writes in a practical, friend-by-your-side voice, sharing her personal experience and the creative paths she took to meet common challenges: managing college costs, downsizing a lifetime's worth of stuff, and retiring well on a middle-income budget. Her most recent work follows her mother's eighty+ year journey as a Big Band musician.

Her works include: "My One and Only Love - A Big Band Love Story", "Enough: A Retirement Life That Works for Me", "The Stories We Leave Behind: A Legacy-Based Approach to Dealing with Stuff", "Back to School for Grownups", "How to Save $50,000 on College", "Graduate School on a Budget", and "Our Plan - A Family-Centered Approach to Paying for College."
