Invaluable: Bill Planning During an Emergency

Paying bills can be a challenge. But when life gets rough, it's even harder. Sarah Brooks, an asset building specialist with DevNW, helps us get ready for when an emergency strikes.

This is an episode of Oregon ABLE’s new Invaluable webinar series, where we learn how to the get most out of our money. Each month, we have an expert join us to talk about a different financial topic. We cover everything from budgeting, to building credit, to how you can start working without losing your benefits.

Best yet, this series is specifically designed for people with disabilities. We want to make sure our conversations fit in with the reality of your life. We’ll let you know if those on benefits need to consider certain things, or if there’s a related resource you might not know about.
