7 Steps to Achieve a FIRE Lifestyle with Court of Modern Fimily - Queer Money Ep. 200 Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

As part of the queer community, we were BORN to deviate from the norm. So, why do we feel pressure to conform to societal values when it comes to spending? Members of the FI/RE community are non-conformists around money, optimizing their finances to achieve financial independence, retire early and enjoy the freedom of doing exactly what they want with their time. Curious how YOU can be a part of this special breed of unicorn?

Court is one-third of Modern FImily, a financially independent lesbian family on a mission to help others achieve financial freedom. Court and her partner Nic went from $110K to $1M in net worth in nine years and achieved financial independence in 2018. Today, Nic stays at home full-time with their daughter and Court works part-time, and they hope that sharing their experiences will inspire others to join the FI/RE community.

On this episode of Queer Money, Court joins us to discuss how she approaches finances like a game and share her very simple (but super-powerful) way to track spending. She explains how she was introduced to the FI/RE community, describing how she and Nic spend according to their values and get the most bang for their buck doing the things they love. Listen in for Court’s insight on how being LGBTQ impacts her FI/RE journey and learn how YOU can leverage being a non-conformist to improve your financial life!

Show notes

Have you ever heard of a backdoor Roth IRA? Yes, it IS a real thing. And no, it’s NOT something you do in the bedroom! A backdoor Roth IRA is a way to save for retirement if you want the benefits of a Roth IRA but don’t qualify for one. So, when would you want to use a backdoor Roth IRA?

What’s the Difference Between a Traditional and Roth IRA? - Queer Money Ep 194 Feb 18, 2020

Show notes

According to the 2018 Prudential Financial Wellness Census, only 27% of LGBTQ individuals surveyed said they were participating in an employer-sponsored retirement plan. If we want to live a fabulous life well into our golden years, it’s important that we invest in some type of retirement account—and two of our options are the traditional and Roth IRA.

On this episode of Queer Money, we’re discussing the pros and cons of the traditional versus Roth IRA and helping you decide which type of retirement account is best for you. We explain the need for the LGBTQ community to save for the future and share the encouraging results of our retirement account poll in the Queer Money Facebook Group.

We walk you through the pros and cons of the traditional IRA, covering its immediate tax benefit and penalty for early withdrawal. And we describe how the Roth differs, from its income limits on contributions to its tax benefit when you retire. Listen in for insight on deciding which retirement account is the right fit for you and learn about the advantages of saving for retirement via an IRA.
