5 Retirement Questions LGBTQ+ People Ask Most

If you've ever wondered whether you're really on track for retirement, you're not alone. In this episode, Josh asks me five of the most common retirement questions I hear from LGBTQ+ clients—and we tackle them one by one. We discuss whether retirement planning is actually different for LGBTQ+ people, why estate planning is so important, how to know when you're ready to retire, what legacy planning looks like if you don't have children, and the biggest mistake I see people make over and over again. Whether retirement is years away or just around the corner, these are conversations every LGBTQ+ household should have.
