How to Break Free from Financial Fawning | Queer Money Ep. 538
Episode description
What is financial fawning and why do I need to be cautious about it?
In this episode of the Queer Money® Podcast, David and John share a personal story of feeling compelled to make a significant donation despite financial constraints. The story leads the two into an interview with writer and personal finance educator Jackie Lam, who discusses the challenges of balancing financial expectations, and community and family obligations with personal financial goals. The three discuss the concept of 'financial fawning,' setting boundaries for charitable giving, and creating a budget that accommodates both planned and spontaneous generosity. Jackie also shares her personal journey of addressing cultural and familial pressures while working towards her goal of semi-retirement in her 50s.
