Hi, I’m Starr Martin.

I’m an entrepreneur, creator, and lifelong work-in-progress who believes you shouldn’t have to choose between being financially responsible and actually enjoying your life.

I created The Soft Life on a Hard Budget from my own experiences of making financial mistakes, rebuilding, learning better boundaries, and realizing that a beautiful life isn’t something you have to wait until you’re rich to experience.

Through my writing and creative work, I talk about money, mindset, lifestyle, personal growth, confidence, and becoming the woman you know you’re capable of being.

My goal is simple: help women create lives that feel good without destroying their finances trying to look good.

Because you can be ambitious and soft.

You can be disciplined and still have fun.

You can be rebuilding and still enjoy the view.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. 🤎
