Effective Ways to Fight Spending Triggers - Queer Money Ep. 170 Sep 03, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of Queer Money, we are tackling a topic that keeps coming up in our Queer Money Facebook group and from the emails we receive from our followers.

There’s an episode of Friends where they all go out to dinner to celebrate Monica’s promotion, and when the bill arrives, Ross splits it six ways. If you’re Phoebe, who ordered the cup of soup, or Rachel, who got a side salad, that’s a pretty frustrating situation. Do you risk the embarrassment and say something? Or give in to the peer pressure to spend?

On this episode of Queer Money, we’re sharing our five top tips for overcoming the peer pressure to spend in social situations. We cover the value of using cash instead of cards, discussing how access leads to overspending, and offer advice on going out with an entrance and exit strategy.

We go on to explain why it’s helpful to share your financial goals with your friends to gain their support—and maybe even inspire them to work toward their own hopes and dreams! Listen in for insight on avoiding the temptation to participate in rounds of drinks and learn how an accountability partner can help you overcome the peer pressure to spend.

7 Thinking Errors That Sabotage Success - Queer Money Ep. 169 Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

On this week's Queer Money we are discussing how our thinking can impact our financial future and how it has helped or hindered our current situation. We discuss some of the thinking errors highlighted in our eBook - The 7 Thinking Errors that Prevent Financial Freedom.

“Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words,

your words become your actions, your actions become your habits,

your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.”

--Gandhi

Not happy with your current financial situation? It may be the result of one or more thinking errors, the self-defeating beliefs that influence our thoughts and actions in a negative way. So, what are some of the errors in thinking that keep us from achieving our money goals? And how can we change our belief system to get different results?

On today’s episode, we’re discussing the most common thinking errors (as identified by our Queer Money Facebook Group) that prevent our financial success. We explain where our thinking errors come from and how belief systems influence our results. We weigh in on the thinking error around not being responsible for our own financial situation, describing the inclination to blame others and believe there’s nothing we can do to change things.

We go on to cover the belief that we can wing it with our money, challenging the LGBTQ community to become conscious of how we’re spending and develop a plan for financial success. Listen in for insight on the false belief that more money will solve our problems and get our top tips for identifying and overcoming the thinking errors that hold us back!

Why Being Out at Work Matters - Queer Money Ep. 168 Aug 20, 2019

Show notes

On this Queer Money, we discuss a topic that often brings up angst for many in the LGBTQ community; should I be out at work?

An estimated 50% of LGBTQ individuals in the US are not out at work. Why does visibility matter? What can companies do to encourage self-identification? And how can businesses use this information to support queer employees and advocate for equality in the places where they operate?

Todd Sears is a former investment banker and financial advisor turned entrepreneur for equality. He led pioneering LGBT+ inclusion initiatives at Merrill Lynch and Credit Suisse before founding Out Leadership in 2011. Todd originated the idea of a Return on Equality, and his global leadership initiatives seek to engage senior leaders around LGBT+ opportunities, develop talent, and impact business results.

Today, Todd joins us to discuss the recently published LGBT+ Self-ID Study, explaining what prompted Out Leadership to conduct this research and how companies can use the information. He weighs in on what companies need to do to promote LGBT+ self-identification and offers insight around the pros and cons of coming out at work. Listen in to understand what Out Leadership hopes to accomplish through the LGBT+ Self-ID Study and learn how visibility among the queer community improves the corporate culture for other minority groups!

Our Debt Free Journey, So Far - Queer Money Ep. 167 Aug 13, 2019

Show notes

On this episode of Queer Money, we are continuing our series of highlighting stories of others who are on the path to becoming debt-free.

Ready to get out of debt once and for all? If so, you’d better be ready to take a deep dive into what got you there in the first place. As Nathan, a student in our Credit Card Pay Off Course will tell you, the first step in fixing your financial situation is developing an awareness of how and why you spend the way you do.

On this episode of Queer Money, Nathan joins us to explain how his financial situation changed when his partner joined the military—but their spending didn’t. He describes how covering the bill for friends at restaurants and bars compounded his debt and explores how being a gay man influenced his spending.

Nathan also shares how moving to Japan inspired him to fix his finances and why it’s crucial to understand the psychology of your spending. Listen in to find out how Nathan has paid down $10K so far and is on track to save $3,800 in interest payments by the end of the year with our Credit Card Pay Off Course!

What the Difference Between a 401(k) and a 403(b)? - Queer Money Ep. 166 Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

Queer Money listeners and Facebook group members have told us several times that their #2 financial concern is saving for retirement. So this week on Queer Money, we are tackling a major question.

Are you throwing away free money? If you’re not taking advantage of the option to invest in a 401(k) or 403(b) at work, that’s EXACTLY what you’re doing. So, how do these employer-sponsored retirement accounts work? How much free money will the organization you work for contribute? And how can participating put you on the road to financial security?

On today’s episode of Queer Money, we’re sharing the ins and outs of the most common employer-sponsored retirement accounts, the 401(k) and 403(b). We explain how employees make contributions to these accounts via a payroll deduction and what types of investments fund administrators put that money toward.

We go on to discuss the similarities between 401(k)s and 403(b)s, weighing in on their like contribution limits, withdrawal fees, and tax-free rollovers. Listen in for insight around what distinguishes the 401(k) from the 403(b) in terms of investment options and learn how participating in your employer-sponsored retirement account can help you achieve financial security!

3 Big Surprises from the Queer Money Tour - Queer Money Ep. 164 Jul 23, 2019

Show notes

Beginning in May 2019, John and I set out on the very first Queer Money Live tour. On this episode of Queer Money, we talk about what we learned on that tour by talking with LGBTQ people from 7 different cities across the North East.

We need to start talking about money. To build a strong queer community with the financial resources to live our best lives and continue to push for equality, we’ve simply got to share what we know. So, how do we start the conversation and catch up with other communities?

On today’s episode of Queer Money, we’re sharing the 3 themes that emerged from the first leg of the Queer Money Live Tour. We discuss the recurring idea around spending to make up for the past, explaining how we develop attachments to things to mask our pain and why we spend to prove we’re lovable.

We go on to explore why the LGBTQ community seems to have accepted debt as a way of life, challenging you to look at whether you truly have an income problem or a spending problem. Listen in for insight into how sharing what you know helps our community make better financial decisions and get inspired to take on the Credit Card Interest Rate Reality Check!

Show notes

On this week's Queer Money we're talking about making more money! We often talk about how to cut expenses, but we also have to look at increasing income so we can thrive financially.

The beauty of the sharing economy is that you can earn money from things you already own. Got a spare bedroom? A couch? A tent in the backyard? You might be surprised how much you can earn by listing your space on Airbnb, Mrb&b, or any other short-term rental site. You might even choose to expand this model and build a business around the vacation rental model.

Zeona McIntyre is an Airbnb host, real estate investor and short-term rental consultant. In addition to her own six properties, Zeona manages another 20 listings and teaches aspiring STR hosts how to create their own automated businesses. She reached her financial independence number at the age of 28, and now Zeona has the freedom to travel the world and manage her vacation rentals from her phone or laptop.

Today, Zeona joins us to explain how she built a business around short-term rentals and what steps she took to achieve financial independence. Zeona shares the three ways to get started on Airbnb with little or no startup costs, discussing who’s the right fit for this business model and how much you can earn as a property manager. Listen in for Zeona’s simple, three-step process for becoming an Airbnb host and learn how to use the STR model to get out of debt and achieve financial freedom!

3 Critical Keys to Living Your Best Life - Queer Money Ep. 161 Jul 02, 2019

Show notes

On this week's Queer Money we are honored to host the 9 times New York best selling author David Bach.

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you may not like where you end up.”

How do you make decisions about how to spend your money? Do you have a vision of what you want your life to look like that guides you? Do you spend with intention, based on your values? Or unconsciously, based on someone else’s idea of what’s important?

David Bach is one of the most popular financial authors of our time. He has written nine consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including Start Late, Finish Rich, The Automatic Millionaire, and his new release, The Latte Factor. David has been teaching people how to be smarter with their money since 1994, speaking internationally and making thousands of media appearances, with spots on The Today Show and The Oprah Winfrey Show, among many other outlets. He is also the founder of Finish Rich Media and co-founder of AE Wealth Management, a firm boasting $8B in assets under management.

David joins us to share the premise of his new book, The Latte Factor. He explains why having a vivid vision is crucial to changing your financial life, discussing how clear values make money decisions easier. David also addresses how to avoid getting sidetracked by values that aren’t your own and overcome the perception that you’re not worthy of more than a mediocre life.
