Once upon a time, in a land not-so-far-away called ESG investing, the fairy godmother of the East made you sleep better because your investments didn’t harm the environment, exploit people or make puppies cry.

But the Wicked Witch of the West haunted your dreams like Freddie Kruger with low stock market returns and fears of retirement insecurity.

Today on Queer Money, we’re talking with the co-founders of Till Investors and co-authors of the upcoming book Sustainable Investing: An ESG Starter Kit for Everyday Investors, Kylelane Purcelle and Ben Vivari to talk about the evolution and value of values-based investing, and how those low returns are now nightmares of yore.

Kyle and Ben have spent their career in financial services and are on a mission to spread the value of financial, environmental, social, and corporate governance returns to the masses.

Does the thought of retirement keep you up at night?

Not because of finances, but because you won’t have children to help care for you or because you won’t have a spouse or partner to be there for you?

On this Queer Money episode, we’re talking about retirement planning for solo- and child-free agers.

Per a recommendation in the Queer Money Facebook group, we’re joined today by Dr. Sara Zeff Geber, author of Essential Retirement Planning for Solo Agers. From her years of research and speaking on the subject, Sara shares ideas for housing solutions, both domestic and abroad, how to stay mentally and physically healthy as long as possible and how to design a rewarding second, third or fourth act.

Remember to hang on until the end to find out how to enter to win a free copy of Dr. Geber’s book.

What are the most affordable, LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the United States?

On this Queer Money, we're taking a break from our usual look at individual states. We wanted to share the the top 10 most affordable, LGBTQ+ friendly cities so far from the first 25 states we’ve covered from Montana to Wyoming.

All of these cities scored a 100 on the Human Rights Campaigns Municipal Equality Index.
