How Personal Finance Differs for the LGBTQ+ Community, with John and David Auten-Schneider The MapleMoney Show

    • Investing

According to a study by Prudential Financial, 50% of LGBTQ+ people only have one banking product, while 66% of non-LGBTQ+ folks have at least 2 banking products. This statistic indicates a disparity with how the queer community engages with financial products, and it forms the topic of this week’s episode.
With their writing and speaking for DebtFreeGuys.com, their microblog, DebtLasso.com, and The Queer Money® podcast, David Auten and John Schneider help queer people live fabulously, and not fabulously broke. David and John’s work has appeared in Forbes, Yahoo Finance, CNBC, ABC News and Good Morning America to name a few. Their goal is to connect LGBTQ+ people with the information and services they need so they and the queer community can do more and be more. They join me this week to discuss the various challenges LGBTQ+ people face in the workplace, and in their personal finances.
