Do you make poor financial decisions, even when you know better? If so, it may help to dig into your money story to find out why.

It's pretty easy to bash conservative states as members of the LGBTQ+ community when we see many of these states enacting laws against us. Yet, did you know that almost one-third of LGBTQ+ adults in the U.S. live in a Red State? There are many reasons that some folks may choose to stay or move to one of these Red States, one of which may be affordability and because they lack the financial privilege it takes to move to another state.
With that in mind, we've mined our data on affordable LGBTQ+ friendly cities and have come up with the top 5 most affordable cities in Red states.
This is Queer Money episode #501. Today, we’re diving into 5 affordable cities in Red states that are great spots for LGBTQ folks.
