Finances from a Lesbian Point of View
I can’t tell you how excited I was to finally find a blog out there that deals with the topic of finances from a lesbian point of view. Finances are one key part of everyone’s life (remember the life wheel?) and basically “Money Makes the World Go ‘Round” in many ways.
Queercents is a blog written by Dawn, Caitlin, and Nina. Their tagline “We’re here, we’re queer, and we’re not going shopping without coupons” is catchy and a great lead in to their articles on finances, frugality, and how it all relates to us as lesbians. Because we can’t marry our partners the financial maze is even more complex and fraught with gotcha’s than our straight counterparts. That’s just ripe for added stress, especially in our relationships (where money is always a hotbed of power, emotion, and potential conflict).
These ladies have a very accessible and personal writing style. And hurrah to a bunch of folks willing to come out from behind that pseudonym mask to talk about the real issues! I, for one, can’t wait to read more of what they have to say as it has quickly become one of my favorite blogs to read.

Thank you Paula for your kind and supportive words. So many people today want a real, personal view into the lives of people around them. I hope that we continue to feed that desire in a way that enables them to grow and reveal their own real and personal side to others as well.

I live in Massachusetts. With marriage as a possibility, it’s difficult to find a partner to be financially sound with. That’s why discovering this blog made my life. My iPod is 40% music, 10% video and 50% self-help books. When I’m in the mood for something exciting I turn on Robert Kiyosaki. (Odd…I know) How many others are out there? How many see the importance of entrepreneurship? How many rebel US debt…paving their way to a better “dream”? I would love to speak with all of you. Better yet– move to my state. Finding a partner is hard enough…never mind one with similar financial goals.
