The LGBTQ+ Retirement Gap: How to Find Forgotten Accounts & Save Thousands

Spring has sprung, and it's time to clean up those retirement accounts! In this episode, I'm tackling something crucial for our community—finding forgotten retirement money, cutting hidden fees, and making sure your investments match where you are in life right now. Did you know that 57% of LGBTQ+ folks earn less than $50,000 annually? That means we can't afford to lose money to unnecessary fees or leave accounts scattered across old employers. I'll show you exactly how to track down those lost 401(k)s (yes, even from that job you left 15 years ago), identify fees that could be costing you tens of thousands, and check if your asset allocation still makes sense for your goals. Whether you've changed jobs due to discrimination, moved for acceptance, or just want to get your financial house in order, this episode gives you the roadmap.
