Is this sentence correct?
"From a young age, Caren wanted a lavish lifestyle."

I believe it should be "a lavished lifestyle." I have always read it and heard it that way.

I take it back. I just looked it up and it is "lavish lifestyle".

I would have omitted the comma. i.e. From a young age Caren wanted a lavish lifestyle. I see that Grammarly requires a comma here though.
However, I would have restructured the sentence as follows:
Caren wanted a lavish lifestyle from a young age.
