The Book
Before the Budget
A Pathway to Peace
Every piece of financial advice starts with a budget. But who has ever kept one for a lifetime?
Before the Budget is about what has to be in place first — a way of making financial decisions that still works when the plan meets a real year. Not more discipline. Habits that keep your normal, unwatched behavior pointed in the same direction as the person you want to become.
The budget will still be there when you’re ready. It just was never the first step.

About the author
Luciana Silveira Prado is passionate about understanding money, human behavior, and the decisions that shape our lives. She studied Economics at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Data Science at the University of Texas at Austin. She spent six years at IBM and another six as an economist for the Brazilian Ministry of Defense.
After twelve years of building her career, Luciana made a different kind of investment: pursuing a life that money can’t buy.
Today, she and her husband are raising their four children in the Austin, Texas, area, where she is actively involved in building and strengthening her community. Few things bring her greater satisfaction than helping others find clarity, confidence, and peace in their lives.
