Are You Fabulous or Just Financially F*cked? | Queer Money Ep. 589

Are you financially fierce or flaccid?

On this week’s Queer Money, we’re serving up some real talk with a side of glitter.✨ We're diving into the fabulous façade many LGBTQ+ folks feel pressured to maintain—and asking the hard question: is your bank account living its truth, or is it buried under a pile of maxed-out credit cards and designer receipts?

Take our juicy little quiz to find out whether you’re financially fierce or financially faking it. 💁‍♂️ Along the way, we unpack why so many of us feel like we have to look rich, even when we’re barely scraping by. Spoiler: capitalism, trauma, and queer culture have some explaining to do.

But don’t worry—we’re not here just to spill the tea. We’re dishing up strategies to help you stop pretending and start planning for the kind of wealthy life that’s actually fabulous (not just filtered). 🌈💰

Tune in, take the quiz, and let’s trade in the shame for something that shines.

Fabulous Takeaways:
  • Financial authenticity is the new black - We’re ditching the performative wealth and embracing real money talk—because pretending to be rich is soooo last season.
  • 💅 Yes, you can live fabulously—but let’s keep it financially honest - We’re talking glitter and grounding. You deserve a lifestyle that feels good and makes sense for your wallet.
  • 📝 Take the quiz, boo - We’ve got a fun (but kinda eye-opening) quiz to help you clock your financial habits—and maybe uncover some truths you've been ducking like a Grindr ghoster.
  • 🗣️ It’s time we normalize queer money convos - Money stress shouldn’t be a secret shame. Let’s make it a community conversation—like Drag Race recaps, but with spreadsheets.
  • 📊 Track your spending like you track your steps (or your ex) - Start with a simple budget. Essentials + savings = the real glow-up.
  • 💸 Build that flex fund, honey - Because life throws shade and unexpected bills. A flex fund is your financial fan for when things get hot.
