Originally from Morristown, New Jersey, Mike Turi came to New Orleans to study and earn his BSM at the A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University. Mike is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and founded Upbeat Wealth to help families maximize their resources, share more purposeful experiences, and build lasting legacies.
Engrained in the financial advisory community, Mike previously served as the Next Gen Chair on the Financial Planning Association of Louisiana chapter board and currently belongs to organizations such as the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors, XY Planning Network, and the Fee-Only Network.
When Mike isn’t trying to reshape the next generation of financial planning, he can be found in the St. Claude/Bywater neighborhoods of New Orleans, where he lives, works, and attempts to do pretty much everything else. You can frequently find him with his family in Crescent Park walking their neurotic German Shepherd, Smokey, and goofball Lab Pitt, Grady. When he is not giving out belly-rubs, he can be found trying new recipes and over-gardening their small yard. If he MUST leave the neighborhood, he is most likely biking to the Superdome.
As an advocate for New Orleans youth, Mike enjoys volunteering at Son of a Saint and coaching the Middle School lacrosse team at the Isidore Newman School.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.

Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
