The Disability Tax: Financial Realities of Living with a Disability (with Maurice Shabazz)
In this deeply personal and informative episode, Darrin sits down with financial expert Maurice Shabazz to unpack the concept of “The Disability Tax” — the financial burden that often falls on individuals living with disabilities.
Drawing from his own experiences as a legally blind financial coach, Darrin shares real examples of the hidden costs that come with navigating daily life as a disabled American.
The conversation dives into how Social Security Disability benefits and the Department of Rehabilitation work to provide financial support, while also exposing the gaps, inefficiencies, and challenges that make it difficult for many to thrive financially.
Together, Darrin and Maurice shine a light on the intersection between disability and financial inequality, offering both understanding and practical insights for listeners inside and outside the disabled community.
