When should you start saving for retirement?
On this episode of the Queer Money Podcast, we talk with Michael Kim who shares his story of planning for retirement early so he can reach his goal of retiring by age 55. This episode touches on the importance of self-reflection to determine what you want and how you can use that knowledge to help plan for your retirement.
Michael's motivation for early financial independence stemmed from his childhood anxieties about financial security and fear of not being accepted by his family due to his sexuality. He shares that knowing that he is judged by some people simply for being who he is has been a blessing in the sense that it has liberated him to focus on what he wants in life, regardless of what other people think.
Some of Michaelâs tips include creating a âvanillaâ goal (realistic) as well as a more ambitious goal (dream) goal, four steps to plan for an early retirement, and a 50/50 investment mix of safe and risky investments. He also shares 3 steps to achieving any financial goal.

What are the most affordable LGBTQ+-friendly college towns?
When we talk about affordable LGBTQ+-friendly cities across the U.S., we often highlight many larger cities, but we don't talk much about college towns and one of you requested a list of these places.
Since many college towns are small towns and cities there generally isn't much data on LGBTQ+ friendliness of these locations. So we did a bit of digging and found colleges that are in cities and towns that are on the HRC Municipal Equality Index as well as cities and towns that rank high on bestcollegereviews.org and collegevaluesonline.com.
This is Queer Money episode 527, and today we're breaking down 7 college towns or cities that are both affordable and LGBTQ+ friendly.
