Phil LavoieQueercents has a new contributing writer. Meet Phil Lavoie. A couple of week’s ago, Phil asked to write a guest post about the FairTax plan and the LGBT community. He’s a fan. Some of you weren’t quite as enthusiastic about his ideas. But that’s okay… he created a stir in the comments section and prompted some lively conversation on the topic. I asked him to stick around and share other views about money and his financial goals.

Phil grew up just outside Boston, Massachusetts and has been working since he was 12. He’s been a newspaper boy, the guy who puts rubber bands on lobster claws, a caddie, and an IT support guy.

Phil has been living in the Midwest for over 4 years. He and his partner moved to Indianapolis in 2006 to have their money go further and to be able to put aside some for retirement. He spends a vast amount of his spare time worrying about finances and preparing his taxes. You can learn more about Phil by clicking here.
