  • Surviving vandalism through community support: a small business story

    Surviving vandalism through community support: a small business story
    Oct 30 2024
    Imagine having a brick thrown through the window of your small business, which you worked so hard to build after the pandemic. Now imagine that happening four times in just two months. That is the story for VERS LGBTQ+ bar co-owner and Give Lively CEO David DeParolesa. Opening the bar wasn't just about the bottom line — he had a mission to create a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community as similar venues close around the country, with more than 45% shutting their doors between 2002 and 2023. DeParolesa shares his experience with vandalism along with higher-than-expected operating costs, saying, "I quickly realized that building a queer space meant dealing with unexpected challenges." Despite the struggles, he emphasizes how the power of community brought a wave of added business to the bar, adding, "Seeing the community rally behind us made it all worth it."

  • Tackling the LGBTQ+ wealth gap: How career choice plays a role

    Tackling the LGBTQ+ wealth gap: How career choice plays a role
    Oct 23 2024
    Wage disparities across industries are stark, especially for LGBTQ+ folks where only 1 in 25 LGBTQ+ men hold high-paying jobs compared to 1 in 7 non-LGBTQ+ men, according to Prudential's 2018 Financial Wealth Census. With less money coming into the LGBTQ+ community than other demographics, how can the community find financial growth and success? In this episode of Living Not So Fabulously, hosts David & John Auten-Schneider speak with Merrill Lynch financial adviser Ari Linder to explore the financial realities of choosing seemingly do-gooder careers over a financially secure one. Linder explained why LGBTQ+ folks might feel more inclined to pick career paths that have smaller paychecks. This was exactly what led Linder to pivot from social work to financial advising. "Those of us who maybe have felt like we have been at a disadvantage or discriminated against or pushed down, we want to try to solve those kinds of problems," they explained. In their work in as a financial adviser, Linder focuses on helping the community with unique needs. For them, being transgender has given them a deeper connection with their clients, explaining, "It's not just about their finances; it's about understanding the life challenges that come with being part of the LGBTQ+ community." Don't miss this powerful episode on how financial planning is financial freedom. Hosts and husbands of Living Not So Fabulously, David & John Auten-Schneider, dive into real money stories with activists, allies, artists, tech-gurus, and trailblazers in the LGBTQ+ community to give you tangible takeaways to tackle your wallet woes.

  • Hacking personal finance with job jumping and loud budgeting

    Hacking personal finance with job jumping and loud budgeting
    Oct 16 2024
    On this episode of Living Not So Fabulously, hosts and husbands David & John Auten-Schneider, bring you the story of OkCupid Director of Brand Marketing Michael Kaye who's been making waves with his career and some unexpected personal finance insights. Starting out at a salary barely high enough to cover his commute, Kaye didn’t just play by the rules—he rewrote them. Catch how Kaye boosted his income by strategically hopping like Frogger with a Master’s degree and becoming the New York City metro area's go-to adjunct professor, adding a hefty five-figure jump to his paycheck. Kaye shares, "I wound up moving agencies every time I would've been up for a promotion, and that allowed me in less than five years to go from $38,000 to $67,500. The leap made my life a lot easier." But it’s not just about the money for Kaye. He’s a spreadsheet-loving Capricorn who plans weddings with the same tenacity he plans his finances. And did you know OkCupid found that budgeting is actually... sexy? That’s right! Kaye shares how budgeting isn't just a financial win; it’s a matchmaker. Kaye shares of OKCupid’s survey, “"Daters who are budgeting are getting 25% more matches and having 16% more conversations than people who aren't. Financial stability is becoming a real turn-on."
