Most online retirement calculators are vague and leave you with more questions than answers.
But Lauren Boland has developed what we believe is THE best retirement calculator EVER, a tool that will give you clarity around how to plan for a secure future. Lauren is a tech genius with experience working for Deloitte, Lockheed Martin and The Motley Fool. She has spent many years working on the cFIREsim retirement calculator, and it is good.

On this episode of Queer Money®, Lauren joins us to explain why retirement planning is such a challenge for people, especially those of us in the LGBTQ+ community. Lauren discusses why it’s important for queer folks to be authentic to ourselves as we plan for retirement and describes how her cFIREsim differs from standard retirement calculators.

Listen in as Lauren walks us through a sample simulation on her retirement calculator and learn how to leverage the cFIREsim to plan a retirement that works for you!
