On the Gay Financial Network [GFN]
[By Staff Writers]
A useful resource to supplement the financial knowledge of gay medical or lay professionals is the Gay Financial Network www.gfn.com
Gays and lesbians control more than $800 billion, according to the network, and the nations’ most gay friendly companies include IBM, AT&T, Bank of America Corp., Google, Yahoo, Mobil Corp., and Hewlett-Packard Co., according to the network.
By its own estimates, there are more than 25 million homosexuals in the USA, and more than 10 million are on-line. About 75 percent of the network’s members are men, 25 percent women, and the majority aged 30-50. Sixty percent visit the site daily, and about 15 percent earn more than $100,000.
Assessment
And, the fact that this information is geared toward alternative lifestyles should not let it be an impediment toward using the information.
For example, did you know that the same penalties associated with pension plans and estate tax laws, also impact unmarried straight couples in the same manner as a gay couple?
