Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Laura Ballard

Edward Jones - Financial Advisor: Laura Ballard I grew up in Sulphur Springs, TX and I am proud to have the opportunity to help those in my hometown and other areas reach their financial goals.

My bond with my hometown community is important to me. At Edward Jones, we strive to make sure clients feel heard, and that we understand their unique story. We also work to help clients understand the investment world in terms they can relate to. My previous career was in the defense contractor industry at L3Harris for 12.5 years. I started out as an individual contributor supporting the financia

l analysis, forecasting, budgeting and bidding efforts for the Logistics department and worked my way up to managing the financial teams for the Operations, Planning and Logistics departments. I attended the University of Texas at Dallas where I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Information Management. Later, I attended Texas A&M University at Commerce where I received my Master of Science in Finance. I am a mother to one beautiful daughter, who keeps me busy and on my toes. I also have two fur babies who love to go wherever they can with my daughter and me. Most of our family is within a couple of hours from us, so we enjoy getting to spend time with them. I am involved in Mother's Culture Club, and love being able to give back to the community through this organization. I enjoy the occasional trivia and bingo night with neighbors and friends. I also enjoy reading a good thriller/suspense book in my spare time. My passion is helping others and leaving people better off than where they started. My goal is to provide exceptional service and advice, no matter where individuals are at in their financial journey. Let's get in contact to discuss what's most important to you.

Can a six-figure income still leave you feeling financially lost?

Our research with Gallup — recently featured in Fortune — found that among Americans earning more than $135,000, nearly 70% still struggle to feel financially fulfilled. Even more striking: 1 in 5 high earners report experiencing significant financial stress.

As a financial advisor, this doesn't surprise me. Income alone doesn't create confidence. What can make a difference is having a clear plan, knowing what matters most to you, and feeling genuinely in control of your financial future.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to start a conversation.

Seven in 10 Americans on six-figure salaries aren’t financially fulfilled—even wealthy Gen Zers.

Inflation has trended lower, supporting the case for the Federal Reserve to keep policy rates steady. While the path back to the Fed's inflation target may not be perfectly smooth, strong earnings, healthy economic growth and resilient consumer spending continue to help support market strength.

Portfolio Strategist Tom Larm shares his perspective on the forces influencing markets and what it could mean for investors in the latest Weekly Market Wrap.
