We cover a range of specific financial planning topics related to raising children with special needs. That might not apply to you or your family. But I bet you know someone to whom it does apply. And maybe, just maybe, this episode will introduce that person and that family to one or two ideas that will make their burden lighter, that will help them make a wise financial or legal decision, or help them sleep at night a little bit better. If you know that family, consider sharing this with them. 🎧 Special Needs Children: How to Protect Their Future and Yours
