In honor of Disability Pride Month, we’ve published a whole month of content related to the intersection of disability and personal finance. Read the first article here!
More than anything else in the personal finance sphere (perhaps save taxes, which I have notoriously, uh… fucked up), the social safety net for disabled people is complicated. The idea of researching it thoroughly enough to provide useful resources for our disabled followers is daunting, to say the least. Even beginning that research has been wildly disheartening. Because it rapidly becomes clear that the social safety net for disabled people is straight-up broken.
But it’s time to rip off the band-aid. Today I’m exploring the brokenness of it all: how it currently works and whether there’s any hope of change. I hope you’ve enjoyed past episodes of Jess Gets Righteously Angry about an Injustice, because you’re about to get more of that!
… A lot more.
