Mailbag: What To Do Financially After a Cancer Diagnosis
Today we’re giving you a first look inside our brand-new Patreon-exclusive Mailbag series — and this one’s powerful.
A listener, a single mom of a toddler, just received a cancer diagnosis. She reached out with urgent questions about how to manage her finances during treatment:
Are cancer insurance payouts taxable?
Should she prioritize paying off IRS debt or building savings?
How can she prepare for unpaid leave while focusing on recovery?
Jean and Kathryn dig into it all, from the tax treatment of cancer insurance to how to protect your money when life takes an unexpected turn.
