Here’s the truth: older LGBTQ+ folks face unique financial challenges—and many people may not even know just how deeply ingrained these challenges are in everyday life. 

Our elders today are the Stonewall Generation; the incredible individuals who raised their voices, took to the streets, and refused to be invisible despite the discrimination and exclusion that they faced for choosing to live as their authentic selves. As a result, many of our community’s pioneers continue to face challenges that impact their ability to live and age comfortably: 

As an influencer, you have a powerful platform to make a positive impact in the world.  

By becoming a SAGECents Ambassador, you will be helping the trailblazers of our community gain greater financial independence and security. 

Managing finances can be tough. SAGECents makes it easier. 

LGBTQ+ elders are 2X more likely to not be married and 4X less likely to have children. When surveyed, 50% of single LGBTQ+ people believe they will have to work well beyond retirement age, vs 27% of their non-LGBTQ+ peers. On top of that, 51% of LGBTQ+ elders are very or extremely concerned about having enough money to live on, compared to 36% of their non-LGBTQ+ peers.  

SAGECents is a financial wellness app designed specifically for the unique needs and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ elders, many of whom struggle with the lasting effects of a lifetime of discrimination, heightening rates of inflation, and the ongoing impact of the pandemic. 

With our tool, LGBTQ+ elders can easily manage their finances, track their expenses, and plan for their future. Our user-friendly interface is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind, so even those with little to no experience with financial management can use it with ease. 

They left a legacy that has impacted generations to come. What does your legacy look like? 

LGBTQ+ elders paved the way for generations to come. By partnering with us, you will not only be uplifting the very same individuals who pioneered the modern LGBTQ+ equality movement, but also expanding your own brand and influence. You will be able to showcase your dedication to making a positive impact in the world and helping those in need.

“In retirement and on a reduced income, I have had to think more about my finances to assure my stability. Since I started using SAGECents, I feel more powerful about my finances because I have more tools at my disposal. I’m much more focused and definitely on the right path.”

“[SAGECents] has been a lifesaver for me, especially during the pandemic. Having to cut back on things, staying within my budget. I have cut back over 50% on a lot of bills – I don’t have any big bills, vehicles are paid off. I’ve been working more on my savings, having more savings in there, which I do have now.”

“In this past year, even though my income decreased slightly, I have been able to stay on track in paying my bills on time and even putting a dent in my debt. Thanks to SAGECents, I’ve learned a lot and now feel that I am on firm footing with my finances.”
