  • How We're Diversifying Our Investments Away from the U.S. | Queer Money Ep. 631

    How We're Diversifying Our Investments Away from the U.S. | Queer Money Ep. 631

    Diversifying Investments Beyond the U.S. | International Investing for Gay Gen X Retirement

    Are you unintentionally overexposed to the U.S. stock market?

    In this episode of Queer Money (Ep. 631), we unpack why investors are diversifying investments away from the United States and what international investing means for gay men 45+ who have most of their retirement savings tied up in 401(k)s and IRAs.

    Over the last six months alone, billions have rotated out of U.S. equities. International markets have outperformed. The dollar’s dominance is shifting. Central banks are diversifying reserves. And yet most American retirement portfolios remain overwhelmingly U.S.-centric.

    That’s concentration risk.

    And money hates concentration risk.

    We walk through:

    1. Why global capital is rotating into developed and emerging markets
    2. What “de-dollarization” means for your retirement savings
    3. How international investing can reduce political and currency risk
    4. Why diversification is not anti-American — it’s pro-retirement security
    5. The risks of being overly exposed to AI-heavy U.S. markets
    6. How we personally are reallocating part of our portfolio internationally

    If you’re a Gen Xer or older Millennial with decades of savings sitting in U.S.-only index funds, this episode may challenge your assumptions about buy-and-hold domestic investing.

    Key Takeaways:
    1. Diversifying investments reduces concentration risk tied to one economy and one currency.
    2. International investing has outpaced U.S. markets in recent performance cycles.
    3. Currency alignment matters — especially if you plan to retire abroad.
    4. A globally diversified portfolio reflects today’s multipolar economy.
    5. Active, adaptive diversification can strengthen long-term retirement resilience.

    We’re not abandoning America. We’re protecting our future.

  • The Top 5 Cities in Croatia for Gay Retirees | Queer Money Ep. 630

    The Top 5 Cities in Croatia for Gay Retirees | Queer Money Ep. 630
    Feb 24 2026
    Top 5 Cities to Retire in Croatia for Gay Folks | Affordable Gay Retirement in Europe

    Your morning walk is along a stone promenade by the Adriatic Sea.

    Your biggest decision? Coffee… or wine… or both.

    And your cost of living just dropped by 40–60%.

    If you’ve been dreaming about gay retirement abroad, but assumed Europe meant Paris prices or Barcelona crowds, think again. In this episode of Queer Money, we break down the top 5 cities to retire in Croatia for gay men who want affordability, culture, and coastal beauty without draining their portfolio.

    Croatia may be Europe’s best-kept retirement secret.

    We ranked these cities using our Queer Money Retirement Rating, overweighting affordability because stretching your retirement dollars matters — especially if you want options.

    In This Episode We Cover:
    1. ➜ Zagreb – Croatia’s largest LGBTQ+ community and most livable city
    2. ➜ Split – Beach life, island hopping, and expat-friendly energy
    3. ➜ Rijeka – Progressive, artsy, and quietly affordable
    4. ➜ Osijek – Shockingly low cost of living with small-town charm
    5. ➜ Zadar – Romantic seaside sunsets without the tourist chaos

    We also break down:
    1. ➜ Cost of living compared to Denver (40–60% cheaper)
    2. ➜ Average two-bedroom rent ($700–$1,400 USD)
    3. ➜ LGBTQ+ protections and civil union laws
    4. ➜ What the gay scene actually looks like (and where to be discreet)
    5. ➜ Why Dubrovnik didn’t make the list

    Croatia offers Mediterranean lifestyle, national healthcare access, and European culture — without the Spain or Italy price tag.

    But affordability is only half the story. We also talk honestly about LGBTQ+ acceptance, legal protections, and what life is really like for gay retirees in Croatia.

    🎯 Key Takeaways
    1. ✔ You don’t need Western Europe pricing to live a beautiful gay retirement
    2. ✔ Zagreb is the easiest plug-and-play LGBTQ+ community
    3. ✔ Split is amazing — but summer tourism spikes prices
    4. ✔ Smaller cities offer serious savings if you’re flexible
    5. ✔ The right retirement city depends on your numbers

    Want to see if Croatia works with your retirement savings?

    And if Croatia isn’t your vibe, stay tuned — we’re covering Colombia next.

    2. 00:39 - Zadar
