What Happens When We're Gone?

What happens to our kids when we’re not here anymore? It’s one of those questions most of us would rather shove into a drawer and deal with… never. But eventually, we have to talk about it. This week, Tash and Shannon sit down with licensed financial advisor Mary McDirmid, who specializes in helping families raising children with disabilities. Mary is also a mom herself, and her own family’s experience with a rare disease is what led her into this work. We talk about planning for long-term care, understanding benefits, protecting eligibility, sibling roles, building a support network, and creating a roadmap that doesn’t leave everyone scrambling later. And maybe most importantly, we talk about how to start. Because financial planning for a child with disabilities can feel overwhelming, emotional, and ridiculously complicated—but doing something is better than avoiding it altogether. You do not need to have the next 40 years figured out today. You just need a place to begin. Find Mary here: https://allneedsplanning.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
