Is it possible to FIRE as a single person?

Want to have financial independence as a single person but not sure how? On this Queer Money® podcast, we discuss how to get FI/RE as a single person. Make financial independence easier by paying off high-interest rate credit card debt. So, get the 7-Step Credit Card Debt Slasher here.

You can FI/RE without a partner

While it might seem easier to achieve financial independence and retire early if your household has two or more incomes, the fact is that single people can and do reach FI.

In some ways, it’s actually easier for singles to join the FIRE movement.

Jeff Underwood is the creator of Homo Money, an LGBTQ personal finance blog where he spills the tea on money ‘so it ain’t boring AF.’ Jeff also happens to be a single gay man who’s achieved financial independence and is set to retire at 55.

On this episode of Queer Money®, Jeff joins us to share his struggle to find a job during the Great Recession (right after his Honorable Discharge from the Navy) and discuss the steps he’s taken to build a net worth of $750K since then.

He offers advice to queer folks who feel financially hopeless, challenging us to reprogram our mindset and surround ourselves with positive messages about money.

Listen in for insight on Jeff’s Hustle-Own-Money-Opulence formula for achieving financial independence and find out what it looks like to FIRE as a single person!
