Скачать или смотреть A New Year, A New Financial You: 2026 Planning for LGBTQ+ Retirees & Families

As we head into a brand-new year, I wanted to sit down and share something a little more personal — the five financial resolutions I believe can truly transform your future, especially for LGBTQ+ folks like us who’ve often had to navigate financial hurdles that others don’t always see.

In this episode, I walk you through the SMART goal framework I personally use, why rebuilding your budget after the holidays matters more than you think, and how automating your savings can change everything — especially if you feel like you got a late start. I also dive into strengthening your emergency fund and refreshing your estate plan, which is absolutely essential in our community where chosen family often plays as big (or bigger) a role as biological family.

You’ll hear stories, real-life examples, and a few jokes — because budgeting is easier to handle when we can laugh a little. My goal is simple: to help you start 2026 with clarity, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose. Whether you’re resetting after a tough year or ready to level up your financial life, these resolutions will give you a clear path forward.
