Feel like you started planning too late? You’re not alone — and it’s not too late. LGBTQ+ folks in their 50s & 60s often make faster progress than people in their 30s because of urgency and stable income. You can still build the retirement you deserve. 🏳️‍🌈💪

Year-end planning matters for everyone, but especially LGBTQ+ folks. Many of us face wage gaps, discrimination, or career interruptions — I’ve lived it myself. Taking time now to plan can help you rebuild, get ahead, and protect your financial future. 🏳️‍🌈💪

In my 20s, I lost a job the moment they learned I’m gay. It wrecked my finances and eventually cost me my home. 🏳️‍🌈💔
I share this because so many in our community face similar setbacks—and deserve real financial support.
