Planning for Two Lifetimes: Creating Financial Security for You & Your Family
Planning for Two Lifetimes: Creating Financial Security for You & Your Family
January 15, 2026 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
If you’re raising a child with special needs, this might sound familiar:
- You’re overwhelmed by daily life — therapies, IEP meetings, doctors, and advocacy.
- You’re aware that financial planning matters… but it never feels urgent.
- You feel guilty for not doing more, and anxious about the future.
During the webinar, you will learn how to go from “overwhelmed and paralyzed” to "empowered and confident".
You will discover how to move from fear to clarity, from worry to confidence, and from “someday” to “now.”
If you’re ready to finally feel confident about your child’s future please register, join us and share with friends and family.
Presented by:
Michael Ringel, CPA, RICP®, CExP™, ChSNC
Chartered Special Needs Consultant
