On this episode Living Not So Fabulously, hosts David & John Auten-Schneider dive deeper into their story of the financial and emotional impact of coming out in the entertainment industry, and securing their future together.

Amboyer knew he would lose the 'leading-man' type of roles if he came out. "I do the Lifetime movies and the Hallmark movies. You're the straight guy and there's a certain audience that those companies are trying to appeal for....They're saying, can you also then play the straight guy in this? And so me just knowing I'm not gonna have necessarily all those same types of roles and that is gonna be a financial hit." Together, they have candid conversations about money, identity, and career risk considerations they tackled as a couple.

Amboyer and Berger also reveal how they prepared financially for their family, including navigating the complex surrogacy and legal processes to have children. With humor and honesty, Berger and Amboyer offer valuable insights into getting on the same financial page as a couple, managing uncertainty, and creating long-term security. It's time to take their lessons and start building your own financial harmony, today.
