Autism and Your Family Finances
by Tamara Hull
Rating: 5.0 #ad
The financial burden of autism is real. Many parents who have an autistic child struggle financially because not only do they have to pay out-of-pocket for more care and services for their child, but studies show they also tend to bring in less income. Yet, parents with autistic children can take control of their money, build wealth and secure their and their child’s future.
“Autism and Your Family Finances” provides you with a roadmap to make the most of your money and succeed financially. It focuses on important financial topics such as money mindset, debt payoff, budgeting, emergency funds, investing for retirement, and more. However, it also covers more specific topics that are especially important to parents of autistic children such as autism grants, special needs trusts, Social Security Income for their children, ABLE accounts, planning for their child’s future, and more.
