01:00 This Week in Your Money: Summer travel costs are soaring this year — but that doesn’t mean your expenses have to. Sean Pyles and Liz Weston offer tips for planning ahead to decrease your costs, from capitalizing on credit card rewards points to scheduling your trips when airfares aren’t so high.
08:54 Today’s Money Question: Gabe S. Dunn, host of the podcast Bad With Money with Gabe Dunn, joins Sean and Liz to help answer a listener’s question about planning for retirement as a gay man who finds planning templates and other financial resources to be heteronormative and not necessarily helpful in his financial planning. They discuss the challenges of living a “non-traditional” lifestyle — and the fact that you don’t have to be queer to be non-traditional. They also share tips on overcoming the fear of seeking financial help and advice, and discuss the importance of finding the right financial advisor who can explain things in plain language.
33:00 Final Thoughts
In their conversation, Sean and Liz discuss: vacation costs; credit card travel points; bonus rewards points from airlines and hotels; foreign transaction fees; buy now, pay later loans; gas prices; free night certificates; Google Flights; Hopper; hidden fees like resort fees; LGBTQ+ lifestyles; marginalized communities; Finance for the People by Paco de Leon; being afraid to ask questions; retirement planning; solo aging; and the unique freedom that living a non-traditional lifestyle can offer.
