What's the difference between a bank and a credit union? Why would I want a checking account or savings account when I already have an ABLE account? What's the difference? Nancy Yuill, from the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation, walks us through all of this. She also talks about some other financial services that end up costing you more in the long run.

This webinar is part 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’ll 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.
