Ever wonder what to do with your money as you enter adulthood? Or how to spend and save in a way that works for you? Money can be a big stressor for many people, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. When you understand where your money is going (and how to make smart choices with it) you’ll feel more confident and in control.

Managing your money is a big part of growing up and becoming independent. It’s all about being responsible and making decisions that support your goals.

We’re excited to start the money conversation with you so you can keep it going—even outside of PYLN!

We’re excited to welcome Diana Fishlock as our guest speaker! Diana is the PA ABLE Outreach Specialist for the Pennsylvania Treasury’s Bureau of Savings Programs, where she shares information about the PA ABLE Savings Program—a tax-advantaged savings tool that helps individuals with disabilities save for expenses like education, housing, and healthcare without impacting their benefits. With a lifelong passion for disability issues, shaped by her family and her own experience as a parent of two young adults with disabilities, Diana brings deep knowledge and personal insight to her role. Prior to joining the Treasury in 2018, she worked in communications for the Department of Human Services and as a reporter covering the disability community. Welcome Diana!!!
