Finances as a Disabled Person

Let’s be real here, trying to build security and stability as a disabled person? The system is not set up to support that. Social services can be limiting, and financial rules often penalize you for simply trying to get ahead. But just know: if you’ve felt this struggle, you’re not alone.

Tune into our third and last episode of The Budget Fix, where TFD’s Creative Director Holly Trantham, & financial educator @heyberna , break down real-life budgets to help you reach your long-term money goals! In this episode, budgeter Phoebe shares how she is striving for stability after growing up in poverty and how she has to think differently about finances as a disabled person. With the assistance of a disability benefits expert, Berna and Holly discuss how someone in Phoebe's shoes might have to plan their finances differently. 💸✨
