Black Financial Expert Urges Americans Facing SNAP Benefit Cuts to Take Control
As millions of Americans face uncertainty over potential cuts to SNAP food benefits, Jayson Thornton, CFP, founder of Thornton Financial and host of the popular podcast Pocket Watching with JT, is urging families in financial distress to take back control by focusing on the first and most important step toward stability — budgeting. According to Thornton, people struggling with debt and shrinking resources can’t win “the game of money” if they don’t know the score.
“Many people are terrified right now about losing their food assistance,” says Thornton. “But before worrying about debt or what’s next for SNAP, you have to know exactly where your money is going. Financial clarity comes first — not panic.”
