Planner Community Off Topic

anyone know how much laken charges for those 'i made this in a word document' tracker for idiots?

i will say that i appreciate when they're honest about the boxes. most of the stuff in them is generally garbage and EC is banking on fomo to sell them.

So I am new to Laken, but yikes...why is she obsessed with trying to be busy all the time? I get wanting to be productive, but all she really does is talk about the things she is gonna do or have done..I wish she would be spontaneous and just live in the moment. This woman would NEVER last with kids. I think she is crazier then Jen, if that’s possible.

I can't stand Erin Condren and her followers. The planners suck horrible and too expensive.

I feel like she is trying to emulate Naina’s IG stories. Laken is obsessed with Naina.

That being said, all Naina does on Instastories is talk about how “busy” she is, but how she’s had to overcome all of the busyness to get it all done. It’s a big, long humble brag. 🙄

It’s probably because she wants to be a productivity guru.

So.... Laken.

Couple things.

She cleaned out her cabinets and put in order to organize all of her tupperware - she pulled it all out of the cabinet and put it on the floor.

I don't care how clean she thinks she is...you don't put stuff you cook and eat out of on the floor of your apartment, right in front of the door where they walk in with god knows what on their shoes...and where the cat walk around with it's litterbox feet.
And you know she didn't wash that shit before she put it back in the cabinet.

GROSS.

Past couple of vlogs she's been all befuddled about finding some kind of financial book that she can read about helping her with her finances.
She ask ed for all these recommendations and then decided she couldn't get into a book
So she asked for podcast recommendations thinking a podcast would hold her attention.

In the most recent vlog she mentions how her boyfriend Sam works a lot because he owns his own business and meets with clients a lot, etc.
He's a
FINANCIAL
PLANNER

This twit lives with someone who makes a living by advising people on their finances.
And she needs a podcast to help herself with money.

she seems to have a good job and has a live-in boyfriend who probably makes bank to split the rent with. how is she so bad at managing money? nyc is expensive but not so expensive that two adults in their 30s living in a one bedroom cannot make it work.

Thank you! I had to create an account just to post this but you’ve beat me to it. He sounds like a great financial planner if your girlfriend won’t take your advice and needs to solicit help from internet strangers. NYC must be expensive but she seems to spend a mint each month on Jenny Craig, Rent the Runway, gym memberships, cleaning service for her dumpy apartment, etc.

I’ve only recently found her through Jenn Ross but I think she’ll have her own thread soon enough!

I don't think he makes bank at all...but I do agree that yes, Manhattan is expensive, but the 2 of them should be able to make it work with their combined incomes.
I think Laken is only in her 20's but not sure about the boyfriend - he acts like he about the same age.

And like Trixie27 said - if she'd quit spending on all that crap - she'd be in better financial shape all around.

My current irritation is the JenPlans YT channel (Jen Dufore). It's not a "review" if you only say gushing great things about Erin Condren products. But there are so many EC shills it is hard to kep track.

This is what I thought, too. I've never heard her mention adopting? I know the Condren twins have lifelong besties that Erin considers her bonus kids, maybe that's the confusion?

No, they legally adopted another set of twins. No idea what brought it on, though.

According to an article in Parade, they are friends of her biological son whose parents died.
