[NABS-L] Advice on saving money while receiving Social Security and working

[Justin Salisbury]

Hi Mariya and everyone,

In case it's helpful, I want to offer a link to an article published in the Braille Monitor about ABLE Accounts:

https://nfb.org/images/nfb/publications/bm/bm19/bm1906/bm190611.htm

If anyone is feeling stuck at their current earnings level and wants to up their game, consider also attending some of the events at our NFB national convention hosted by the employment committee! Upward mobility can be yours. 

Aloha,

Justin
