Take Pride in Living with a Disability
July 2024
For many, Mia Petersen was known as the model for self-advocacy. An Iowa native, Mia worked hard to promote equal treatment of herself and all individuals living with a disability. When Mia passed in 2021, the loss was felt across the disability community. But it is up to all of us to continue her legacy by advocating for equality, celebrating the ‘ability’ in disability and, as Mia would say, “letting individuals with disabilities speak for themselves, and don’t let others speak for them.” In this newsletter, we share different ways you can do all of these. From celebrating Disability Pride Month to learning how to use IAble accounts to pursue financial freedom, we hope we can find the Mia in all of us and continue to make the world a more equal place.
Don't Miss It! IAble Webinar Coming April 2
March 2024
For seven years, IAble has been helping individuals with disabilities protect their money from asset caps. Over 2,500 individuals are saving with the Plan, but we know there are so many more who could benefit, and you can help spread the word! Start by sharing information about two upcoming webinars with friends and family members who could benefit from saving with IAble. Then, send them a link for this newsletter to help them learn about how tax-time can be a great incentive to saving, the difference between Special Needs Trusts (SNTs) and ABLE accounts and more.
New Savings Goals for the New Year
January 2024
As we start a fresh, new year, it’s the perfect time to look at our savings goals for the year ahead with fresh eyes. Are you saving for something in the short-term; something for this year? Are you saving for something in the long-term; something you may want or need in the years to come? For many of us, it’s both.
In this month’s newsletter, we’ll look at creating goals and some features of IAble to help get you there.
