Not sure if you can retire or when?
Worried about how much you can safely spend without running out of money?
We help you get clear answers and the systems to retire with confidence and peace of mind. Let's go!
RETIRE WITH CONFIDENCE
Most people don’t fear retirement because of the math, they fear the what ifs.
Do I actually have enough money saved? How much can I safely spend each year in retirement? Am I one bad decision away from being a bag lady?
The Queer Money Retirement Vault™ turns fear into clarity. You’ll know how much is enough, what a realistic drawdown looks like for you (not a one-size-fits-no-one 4% rule), and what kind of life your money can support. Beyond the numbers, the Vault gives you proven systems and expert guidance that addresses both your fears and your goals, so you can stop guessing, stop second-guessing, and feel at peace living the retirement you worked so hard to build.

You guys are a couple. You had your journey together to fix your situation. It was just a different perspective from somebody I could relate to. When you’re trying to solve a problem that’s been hanging out there for a while, looking from someone else’s … viewpoint of how to fix your situation is a good thing.
– Fred & Rich –
I come from a super-religious family that’s not been too accepting of my life choices … so [spending] is also a way to say, ‘Hey, I’m doing all right.’ Your program has actually helped us reshape our thinking.

HI! WE'RE JOHN & DAVID.
We’re here to help you create your ideal retirement.
We’re David & John, hosts of the award-winning Queer Money® podcast and Living (Not So) Fabulously by Yahoo! Finance.
We’ve helped thousands of gay individuals and couples go from living paycheck to paycheck to building financial security and living lives of purpose, joy, and freedom.
Our systems have helped thousands pay off millions in debt, build wealth, and create fabulous, intentional lives they once thought impossible.
Our story didn’t start with success, though.
We were once in $51,000 worth of debt. But in under three years, we became debt-free. We’ve since grown our net worth to over $1.7 million, retired early, and are on track to hit $5 million by traditional retirement age.
No handouts. No windfalls. Just strategy.
We've been featured in Oprah, The Advocate, Variety, Good Morning America, and more.
We built the Queer Money® Retirement Vault™ to help you create a thriving life — financially, emotionally, and socially.

I HAVE A FINANCIAL ADVISOR. WHY DO I NEED THE VAULT?
Your financial advisor helps you manage your money. The Queer Money Retirement Vault helps you manage your life with money as the tool.
Most advisors focus on portfolios, returns, and rules of thumb. They don’t help you answer the questions that actually keep you up at night:
- Can I retire early?
- Where can I retire?
- How can I love my retirement from day-to-day?
- What happens if the rules change politically, economically, or personally?
And they almost never address those questions through a gay lens.
The Vault fills the gaps advisors can’t. It gives you clarity between meetings, tools you can use anytime, and frameworks that help you pressure-test your plan — retirement drawdowns, lifestyle design, retire-abroad planning, debt freedom, purpose, and wellbeing — all in one place. It's the operating system that helps you understand, stress-test, and own the advice you’re already paying for.
The result? Better conversations with your advisor, smarter decisions, and peace of mind that doesn’t depend on a quarterly meeting. Because the best retirement plans aren’t just financially sound, they’re lived with confidence.
WHAT WILL I GAIN FROM THIS PROGRAM?
The Queer Money Retirement Vault will empower you to take control of the four pillars of a fabulous life: love, money, wellness, and lifestyle, all built on a foundation of direction and purpose.
