We’re David and John Auten-Schneider, the Debt Free Guys and hosts of the Queer Money® podcast. We help queer people (and allies) live fabulously not fabulously broke by helping them 1) pay off credit card debt, 2) become part- or full-time entrepreneurs, and 3) save and invest for retirement.
Christmas definitely brings out the materialism in people. Although, I’ve noticed that you can buy some great gifts for under $5 in supermarkets and other places. You can save a lot of money if you combine this with coupons, cashback and rewards programs.
