Legs Financial

We guide families through the unpredictable terrain of wealth and life. In the past, it was being voted “Best Legs” as a senior superlative.

On a hike along the Virginia Triple Crown section of the Appalachian Trail, a fellow hiker gave me a trail name that brought past and present together and set the foundation for a new financial planning firm. “Legs” in the current sense was leading a group in the dark, early a.m. hours up the mountain along the trail, maintaining pace and keeping everyone moving forward to reach the summit prior t

o sunrise. Legs Financial believes in financial planning for all. We meet you where you are along your journey and work together to plot out a path that leads to the realization of your lifetime goals. Legs Financial specializes in working with: Families caring for loved ones with special needs & Working professionals with children.

📍 This Saturday, we're setting up shop at the Children with Disabilities Resource Fair in Wendell!

Every family who walks through those doors is navigating their own path: therapies, school services, what comes after age 18, all of it. We're there to help with one piece: the financial one.

Come find us and ask about:
→ Special Needs Trusts
→ ABLE accounts
→ SSI & Medicaid planning
→ Guardianship alternatives

At Legs Financial, we believe every family deserves a guide for this stretch of the trail, not another product pitch, just a clear next step forward. Stop by, say hello, bring your questions. We'll be there all afternoon.

Incredible energy at the Disability Advocacy Conference in Chapel Hill this week sponsored by Disability Rights North Carolina. Grateful for the chance to learn from leaders in the field and collaborate on building a more inclusive future.

I'm excited to share something we've been working on at Legs Financial: a new 4-part webinar series built specifically for the special needs community. Each session is designed to help families and self-advocates feel more confident about the financial road ahead. Our sessions are in partnership with the Exceptional Children's Assistance Center - ECAC, and the topics build on each other from foundational basics through more advanced planning.

Talk soon.

I just left the conference in Miami, and the visual contrast was jarring. While multimillion-dollar superyachts like this glide past our window, inside we were discussing a policy landscape for people with disabilities that is frozen in time.

The data we reviewed is sobering:
🔹 Countable resources: The limit on what a person with a disability can have in the bank has been static at $2,000 since 1989. Think about that: almost 40 years of inflation, and the asset limit hasn't moved a dollar.
🔹 Monthly living: While the world grows more expensive, SSI pays many people only up to $994 per month.
🔹 Systemic Maze: A simple 90-minute session was barely enough to scratch the surface of navigating SSA denials. It requires expert-level deep-dives for professionals just to guide families through a system that is needlessly opaque.
🔹 Moving Borders: The "Crossing Borders" pitfalls—how simply moving states can jeopardize a person's entire support system—was another critical topic.

We aren't just special needs planners; we are advocates. Heading home with fresh strategies to fight these static, systemic barriers and help our clients build a fair future.

April is Autism Acceptance Month, and while awareness is a great start, acceptance is where the real magic happens.

Acceptance means moving beyond just knowing someone is autistic. It means building a world where neurodivergent individuals are supported, celebrated, and included exactly as they are. It’s about recognizing that there is no standard way for a brain to work, and that’s a beautiful thing.

How can we move from Awareness to Acceptance?

Focus on Strengths & Support: Instead of looking for fixes, look for ways to accommodate different needs and celebrate unique perspectives.

Advocate for Accessibility: Whether it’s sensory-friendly spaces or inclusive workplaces, small changes make a massive difference.

Normalize Neurodiversity: Understand that stimming, different communication styles, and intense passions are valid and valuable parts of the human experience.

Autism isn’t a bug in the system; it’s a different operating system.

Let’s commit to being better allies, not just this month, but every single day. ✨
