Unleash Your Fabulous Financial Journey: Embracing Wealth, Authenticity, and Success

Dearest readers, a Leo asked:
“How do I become a rich evil gay person?!” Below is the Budget Pigeon answer to this cheeky question.

Leo, first, we appreciate your enthusiasm, humor and high energy approach to budgeting, and we’re here to help you embrace your financial journey, as you mold it to your liking. 💸🌈

First things first, let’s reframe the question a bit. Instead of aspiring to become a “rich evil” person, let’s focus on becoming a financially empowered gay individual who can live their best life authentically and without limitations. 🌟

Here are some tips to help you on your financial success path–whether it be one filled with bright light or a calming cloak of darkness: 

1. Define what wealth means to you. Some people feel “rich” with $1,000, and some feel “poor” with 100k! Leos have a very sophisticated definition of wealth, and it certainly spans far beyond money for you. Is it important to have an account with many zeros, or is your wealth rooted in bespoke experiences like collecting antiques or travel? We can’t reach goals we don’t fully define, and this is so important here, Leo. 
   
2. I sense anger in your question. Anger often comes to us when we feel a loss of agency. You might feel as if the world is pushing you toward your villain era. How Leo of you! Self-care and putting yourself first allows us to then uplift others, so you are right to take the first steps to becoming financially independent! This brings us to the next point.
   
3. Leo, cultivate agency and power. Embrace your anger as a source of energy that makes you magnetic to everyone around you. Bring in an era of radical self-love: banish those negative associations about money! Embrace an abundance mindset and see the proof all around you in your own ability to create wealth that is meaningful to you. 
   
4. Leverage your skills and passions to create value in the world. Write down the first 3 things you are passionate about: things you lose track of time doing. Then take a look and decide on how to pursue those to make some extra cash: side-hustle or maybe a time to change the main hustle?
   
5. Build a network of support: Keep surrounding yourself with a diverse and supportive community. Connect with like-minded individuals who can uplift and inspire you on your financial journey. Embrace discomfort to attend events, and seek mentors who can guide you along the way.

Remember, being fabulous and financially successful isn’t about being “evil” – it’s about embracing your authentic self, living life on your terms, and making a positive impact. Words have a strange way of shifting meaning—rather than evil, let’s think of power. 💖

Embrace your unique journey, be proud of who you are, and let’s soar to financial greatness together! 🦚✨
