An Easy Way To Invest Your Stimulus Check

This post is sponsored by ABLEnow®. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

I've written about ABLEnow® savings accounts several times over the last few years because they're one of those things I wish every parent of a child with a disability knew about and utilized. We've been contributing to one since Kinsley was three and having those funds tucked away for a rainy day is so comforting to me. Should we ever need to make our home, or her home in the future, more accessible for her, we'll have the funds to do so. These funds can also be used for college, medical expenses, and so much more.

I remember when Kinsley was first born and her future was so unsure. At the time we didn't even know if she would survive that first year. Now being six years past that really scary time, it can be even more scary thinking about what her future will look like when we're not around. One thing that helps me to push past that fear is to take actionable steps that I know will help her in her in the long run. 

When you have a child with a disability it might sometimes feel like you have to choose between keeping public benefits like Medicaid, or saving for your child's future. Often times the assets you have can count against you with your public benefits, which makes people fearful of saving and investing because of how crucial those benefits can be in their everyday lives.

The major perk to ABLEnow savings accounts are that they're the only savings tools available that won't count against your eligibility for certain disability benefits. You can save and prepare for your loved ones future without worrying about losing Medicaid and having to spend thousands of dollars on medical expenses. This is a huge relief to us as Kinsley has been on Medicaid for the last year now, and not having to pay for her medical bills has been just a blessing for our family. 

Right now is the perfect time to open an ABLEnow savings account because many of us have received a stimulus check this year. If you have some of that money leftover, consider investing it into a tax advantage ABLEnow savings account so that your stimulus check can be worth more to you later than it is today. These checks can help you to to build an emergency fund, invest for the future, or have money available on your ABLEnow Card when you need it most.


If you're interested in opening an ABLEnow savings account and want to see if you or your loved one qualify, head on over to their website and use their eligibility quiz. To learn more about ABLEnow accounts and how they work, check out their free webinar sessions so that you or your loved one can achieve more independence, greater financial security, and a better quality of life.

As our own daughter gets older and we start to prepare for what her future will look like, I have so much peace of mind knowing that we can take action today to help give her a bright and hopeful future as we continue to be diligent in contributing to her ABLEnow account.
