The conversation examines what made her open an ABLE account for Gunner more than 10 years ago before most families had ever heard of one, what 7 years as Miami-Dade County\u2019s ABLE Ambassador has taught her about why so many families are still leaving this benefit on the table, and why saving money doesn\u2019t have to mean losing the benefits your family depends on. Phoebe breaks down what an ABLE account can actually fund, how the 2026 Age Adjustment Act just opened the door for 6 million more Americans, and what she wants Gunner\u2019s financial life to look like when he\u2019s 60.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/miamimovershub.com\/?p=37\">City of Aventura Fitness Boot Camp at Waterways Park<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd Open an ABLE United Account: https:\/\/www.ableunited.com\/<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about buying or selling a home in Miami, or simply need experienced guidance, Victor Antunez delivers expert, personalized support to help you achieve your goals.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf2 To get started text or call Victor Antunez at 305.401.622<br \/>\n\ud83c\udf10 Online at victorantunez.com<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/miamimovershub.com\/?p=35\">Governor DeSantis Awards Medal of Freedom to Everglades Champions<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more shows, go to: cnewstv.com<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT US:<\/p>\n<p>Miami Community Newspapers is your go-to source for Miami community news, offering daily updates, podcasts, and multimedia content.
