In our latest series, The Budget Fix, TFD creative director Holly Trantham and financial educator Berna Anat dissect real-life budgets to help you better 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.
