What Would You Do with a $5,000 Bonus - Queer Money Ep. 180 Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

You’ve come into a little extra money. Maybe a tax refund, a bonus at work, or a check from your Aunt Mable for your birthday. Without a plan, you may be tempted to spend the unexpected cash on something frivolous, like a trip to Vegas. So, let’s think it through. What would you do with, say, an extra $5K?

On this episode, we’re sharing the top answers to this question in our Queer Money Facebook group. We applaud the responses focused on financial improvement (like paying off debt, investing and saving for an emergency) and discuss how to incorporate spending on self-care without going overboard.

We go on to talk about the idea of setting milestone rewards as you pay off debt and explain what WE would do with an unexpected extra $5K. Listen in to understand why the LGBT community struggles financially and learn how making money-conscious micro-decisions day to day is the key to improving your financial situation—whether you get a $5K bonus or not!

Which Credit Card Should I Pay Off First? - Queer Money Ep. 179 Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Okay, you’ve made the commitment to pay off all your credit cards. You want them done and gone. Then, what do you do? You’ve got several credit cards with different balances and different interest rates – though all high-interest rates.

How do you pick which credit card to pay off first, then second, then third and (well – we could go on and on)?

For most people, wanting and even deciding to pay off their credit cards isn’t the problem. It’s picking which strategy to use to pay off their credit cards and deciding which to pay off first. Then, sticking with that strategy until all their credit card balances are $0.

On this Queer Money®, we’ll talk about the two most popular strategies for paying off credit cards, neither of which are as good as the third, exclusive way to pay off credit cards that we’ll share. Then, we’ll tell you exactly how to decide which strategy will work best for you and pick that first credit card to pay off.

How to Talk to Mom & Dad About Their Money - Queer Money Ep. 178 Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

A 2010 Met Life study comparing LGBT baby boomers with their straight counterparts found that the queer respondents were more likely to serve as caregivers to family and friends than their straight peers. Because those of us in the LGBTQ community are less likely to have children, our siblings may assume that we’ll be the ones to take care of our aging parents when the time comes. This is a huge responsibility, and it goes beyond providing physical and emotional support. Do your parents have their legal and financial matters in order? And how do you find out without offending anyone?

Cameron Huddleston is an award-winning journalist with 17-plus years of experience writing about personal finance. She has been featured in Kiplinger, Business Insider and Fortune, among many other media outlets. Cameron is also the author of Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk: How to Have Essential Conversations with Your Parents About Their Finances and a regular columnist for GOBankingRates.

On this episode of Queer Money®, Cameron joins us to discuss why it’s so difficult to talk to our parents about money and offer ideas on how to initiate the difficult conversation. She walks us through the right questions to ask, explaining how it might impact us if our parents don’t have a plan for long-term care. Listen in to understand how Cameron’s personal experience inspired her to write the book and get her expert advice around how to help your parents plan for the future—without making them too uncomfortable!

How to Pick Your Best Career [and Life] - Queer Money Ep. 177 Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

What should I do with my life? A lot of us in the LGBTQ community seem to settle for jobs that are in the realm of easy possibility rather than finding and fulfilling our true purpose. But how do you know what you’re called to do? How do you pick a career that’s perfect for you?

On this episode of Queer Money, I’m sharing my own long road to purpose-driven work. I explain how I acquired $34K in credit card debt after college and what inspired my transition from retail to a career in financial services. I describe the early signs from the universe that were steering me toward my purpose, including an inspiring episode of Oprah and the feat of paying off our $51K in debt.

I go on to discuss the kick in the pants the universe gave me in the form of depression and a difficult boss, weighing in on how our savings gave me the resources to walk away from my W-2 and start the Debt Free Guys platform. Listen in for insight around how my life has changed now that I’m pursuing my true calling and get inspired to pick a career that fulfills YOUR purpose!

My Story of Visualizing, Believing & Achieving the Life of My Dreams with Bernardo Puccio - Queer Money Ep. 175 Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

“It’s not that I’m better than anyone, but no one’s better than me.”

Growing up as the son of Italian immigrants in the Deep South during the Civil Rights movement wasn’t easy. And being gay didn’t make it any easier. But rather than taking on limiting beliefs, Bernardo Puccio eliminated the word CAN’T from his vocabulary and started visualizing the life he wanted.

Bernardo became a world-renowned interior designer with a distinguished career spanning 50-plus years. After growing up in the segregated South where being gay was dangerous, he moved to California to pursue a glamorous life inhabited by the Hollywood elite. Bernardo was designer to (and friends with) stars like Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor and Telly Savalas. He and his partner of 32 years, Orin Kennedy, are the subject of the award-winning documentary, An Ordinary Couple, and Bernardo recently completed the memoir of his extraordinary life, 13 Pieces of Unmatched Luggage and My Poodle.

On this episode of Queer Money, Bernardo joins us to share his experience growing up gay in Alabama in the 1950’s. He walks us through his path to becoming an interior designer and describes how visualization helped him create the career and life he wanted—in Beverly Hills. Listen in for Bernardo’s insight around what propelled him to the top of his field and get inspired to believe that you, too, CAN live the life of your dreams!

I Quit My Job TWICE & It Was Worth It! - Queer Money Ep. 174 Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

“If you don’t like where you are, MOVE. You are not a tree.”

--Jim Rohn

Too many of us get stuck in jobs where we feel comfortable. We’re afraid to walk away from the security of a regular paycheck and try something new. But if you’re not happy or your current situation isn’t getting you closer to your long-term goals, it’s time to take action. I’ve quit my job TWICE, so I speak from experience when I tell you that it’s totally worth it.

On this episode of Queer Money, I’m sharing what inspired me to quit a good job at Charles Schwab and how my situation improved when I took on a new role at Great West Financial. I discuss the fears I had to overcome in making the transition, describing just how nervous I was to walk away from decent money and a position I liked.

I go on to explain why I quit my job at Great West to become a full-time entrepreneur, addressing the uncertainty John and I faced and what we did to prepare. Listen in to understand how my life has changed for the better since I quit my job (twice!) and learn how to overcome your fears and take steps to OWN your tomorrow!

How I Overcame Shame and Have Paid Off Debt - Queer Money Ep. 171 Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of Queer Money, we have another member of the Credit Card Pay Off Course.

If you had to pick one adjective to describe how you feel about your credit card debt, what would it be? Most people choose the word shame. Jeanette was in a very dark place just six months ago, feeling like a failure when it came to money. Today, her outlook has shifted completely, and she is confident that she CAN and WILL succeed in paying off her debt—with the support of the Credit Card Pay Off Course.

On this episode of Queer Money, Jeanette joins us to share her story of acquiring $60K in debt, explaining how taking out a personal loan to pay off credit cards did not improve her financial situation. She describes the scarcity mindset that contributed to her money issues and walks us through the medical event and the peer pressure to spend on her sister’s wedding that put her on the wrong path.

Jeanette also discusses her experience with the Credit Card Pay Off Course so far, offering insight into how she has gone from feeling irresponsible and overwhelmed to confident and hopeful. Listen in for Jeanette’s take on paying off debt the ‘hard way’ and learn how support and accountability have been crucial to her success!
