What is financial fawning and why do I need to be cautious about it?In this episode of the Queer Money® Podcast, David and John share a personal story of feeling compelled to make a significant donation despite financial constraints. The story leads the two into an interview with writer and personal finance educator Jackie Lam, who discusses the challenges of balancing financial expectations, and community and family obligations with personal financial goals. The three discuss the concept of 'financial fawning,' setting boundaries for charitable giving, and creating a budget that accommodates both planned and spontaneous generosity. Jackie also shares her personal journey of addressing cultural and familial pressures while working towards her goal of semi-retirement in her 50s.Topics Covered on financial fawningA Night at the LGBTQ EventIntroducing Jackie LamThe Pressure to Help FamilyCultural and Familial ExpectationsFinancial Fawning and Personal BoundariesBalancing Generosity and Financial GoalsThe Invisible Pain of Financial StrugglesPersonal Finance and Hidden WealthUnderstanding Financial AnxietyGenerosity and Financial BoundariesPlanned and Spontaneous GivingCommunity and Personal JoyConclusion and Contact InformationFor the resources and to connect with our guests, get the show notes at: https://queermoneypodcast.com/subscribe Follow us:Queer Money InstagramQueer Money YouTubeQueer Money on TiktokDownload your FREE Queer Money Kickstarter a 9-step Guide to Kickstart Your Journey to Financial Independence

In this "sporty" episode on location at much-loved Saigon pub Coolabah, we celebrate International Women's Day with special guest Naomi Skinner (namrunsnam.com) who has spent the past 6 months running 2,000km from Hanoi to Saigon to raise money for charity. On her rest day, she pops in and tells us over a few sneaky "rehydrating" beers about her odyssey and how she reckons roadside dogs in southern Vietnam are way more chilled than their northern counterparts who, she says, "chase to kill". On the panel, Matt and Mel are joined by the effervescent Jackie Lam who's filling in for Mike this episode. Jackie is a wine connoisseur and with her husband has grown a successful wine distribution business called RADA Vietnam (ilovewines.vn) supplying premium Australian wines to consumers Vietnam-wide. We also find out that she loves nothing better than (with a glass of vino in hand, of course) watching her AFL Sydney Swans boys run around the field in their tighty tight shorts and flexing their rippling muscles . We also get on The Bureau Hotline and cold-call concierges from three 5-star hotels in Saigon and ask them to recommend a bar and a restaurant to take our lovely lady for International Women's Day. #GetExcited

Jackie Lam wants you to be proud of being frugal. Frugal doesn't mean cheap. There was a time when Jackie needed to be frugal because she had no choice. But today, for her and many others, being frugal is really about making sure that her spending behaviour aligns with her values. It's about making money decisions that help you live your best life. But for many years, Jackie was shamed for her frugality. Whether it is actually a symptom of living in poverty or a value choice, many people still judge frugality and praise free spending. So imagine the validation when Jackie gets to college and meets other frugal minded individuals like her. Finding frugal friends that celebrated their frugality inspired Jackie to create a blog in 2009 called Cheapsters, which morphed into HeyFreelancer.com, her site about keeping your money in check so you can do what you love. Jackie joined me from Los Angeles to share her personal finance story. NEXT EPISODE 67 - Nico Barawid

Sarah and (former co-host) Garrett sit down with Jackie Lam, a freelance writer and advocate for creatives and artists. We talk about her relationship with money and the perceived conflicts artists feel around selling out and the starving artist mentality.
