Navigating the complex intersection of disability, homeownership, and financial planning requires specialized knowledge that few possess. In this eye-opening conversation, Hannah Magma shares her expertise as a Chartered Special Needs Consultant—one of fewer than 500 nationwide among over 300,000 financial advisors. Hannah, who is both a wheelchair user and parent of a medically complex child, brings personal experience to her professional insights. She explains how ABLE accounts work as powerful financial tools that allow disabled individuals to save beyond typical benefit program limits without losing eligibility. For housing specifically, these accounts offer unique advantages over special needs trusts, particularly for handling rent or mortgage payments without reducing Supplemental Security Income benefits.

The conversation challenges common misconceptions about disability and finances. Whether you're disabled, caring for someone with a disability, or simply planning for an uncertain future, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating financial security while maintaining benefits.
