In this episode, “Reviving Your Finances,” I’m joined by Theresa Grant, Founder and CEO of TG Financial Coaching. Theresa shares practical strategies to help Black parents of adult children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) manage financial stress and rebuild their budgets. With unique challenges like healthcare costs and income loss, many parents feel financially stretched.
According to Autism Speaks, the lifetime cost of supporting an individual with ASD ranges from $1.4 to $2.4 million. On top of that, while 58% of Americans have a rainy-day fund, only 40% of Black Americans do. With these staggering statistics in mind, Theresa discusses essential budgeting techniques, rebuilding emergency savings, and even budgeting for self-care, offering actionable tips to strengthen your financial foundation.
