Inflation eats away at the value of your hard-earned money—and for retirees, especially LGBTQ+ retirees living on a fixed income, it can be a real threat to financial security. In this episode of Take Pride in Retirement, host and fiduciary advisor Matt McClure breaks down what inflation really means, why it’s such a challenge, and how you can protect your purchasing power without taking on unnecessary risk.
From strategies like delaying Social Security, diversifying investments, using annuities with inflation protection, and even lifestyle adjustments such as downsizing or shared housing, Matt covers the practical steps that help you stay ahead. He also explores unique challenges LGBTQ+ retirees face, including healthcare disparities, legal protections, and the impact of delayed financial planning due to marriage equality arriving later in life.
Inflation is inevitable—but how you prepare for it makes all the difference.
