10 Vital Retirement Numbers You Need to Know


Talking about money is personal, but it’s also deeply tied to our identities and the specific challenges we face. Queer Money®: How Gay People Do Money digs into that unique intersection, moving beyond generic financial advice to address what it really means to build a stable, prosperous life as an LGBTQ+ person. This bi-weekly podcast is a direct conversation about creating the generational wealth that has historically been out of reach for many in our community, framing financial security as both a practical necessity and a form of empowerment. Each episode tackles the real-world systems and personal hurdles that can stand in the way, from navigating retirement planning without traditional family structures to confronting the economic pressures of what’s termed the anti-LGBTQ+ industrial complex. You’ll hear actionable strategies for eliminating debt, growing personal wealth, and moving toward a retirement that’s not just secure but genuinely enjoyable. The discussion also expands into lifestyle, exploring some of the most affordable and welcoming cities across the country for living or visiting, all through a lens that understands queer lived experience. Tuning in regularly means joining a broader mission to foster resilience and independence, one financial decision at a time. The goal is straightforward: to help the community sleep better at night, knowing the future is on firmer ground.
