How to simplify investing and reach your financial goals

Bartenders. Servers. Hairstylists. Cabbies. Bellhops. What do all these careers have in common?

They’re all service industry professionals or SIPs who rely heavily on tips to earn their income. And personal finance for tipped workers is not the same as it is for 9-to-5 employees or entrepreneurs. And there are a lot of LGBTQ folks who work in the service industry. So, what can service industry professionals do to reach financial independence? How might we apply our skills as tipped workers to investing and money management?

Barbara Sloan is the Money Coach behind Tipped Finance, a platform that helps service industry professionals build wealth. She is also the author of Tipped: The Life Changing Guide to Financial Freedom for Waitresses, Bartenders, Strippers and All Other Service Industry Professionals.

On this episode of Queer Money®, Barbara joins us to explore why so many queer people are attracted to the service industry and explain how SIPs can create systems to achieve financial independence. Barbara discusses why service industry professionals should report ALL of our tips and describes how to gamify the process of saving for important financial goals like retirement or buying a home.

Learn how the skills you develop in the service industry make you highly capable of investing and money management!
