Are Gay Men Really Broke?

It’s no secret: gay men are some of the biggest spenders in the economy. From fashion to travel to gourmet coffee, we love to live well. But here’s the paradox—so many of us still feel financially strapped.

On this episode of Queer Money®, we’re unpacking why gay men often earn more yet save less—and how cultural pressures, internalized shame, and a desire to prove our worth can sabotage financial security.

Takeaways:

  • The hidden costs of trying to look successful
  • Why the LGBTQ+ community is targeted by marketers—and how to protect yourself
  • Steps to shift from consumption to building lasting wealt
  • 💡 If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of spend, stress, repeat—this one’s for you.
