Hey friends đź‘‹
There’s one financial management skill that almost no one was ever taught, yet it’s the thing that separates people who feel confident about money from those who always feel behind.
It’s the ability to talk about money.
I know, I know. Not what you were thinking. But stick with me.
While our parents told us talking about money was taboo, high-income and high-net-worth parents were showing their kids how to talk about money.
There are social clubs, retreats, and conferences specifically for ultra-wealthy individuals that facilitate the sharing of deals, investment strategies, and capital connections.
And while we think talking about money means sharing numbers or bragging about net worth, (which can tie shame and judgment to our conversations….)
Those that are holistically wealthy often talk about it in a way that brings more provision, and whole-person wellbeing.
And we think you deserve to be in on those types of conversations. Maybe even starting them yourself.
In our latest episode, we sat down with Carl Richards (author of The Behavior Gap and The One-Page Financial Plan) to unpack this very idea.
Carl reminded us that much of what trips us up around money isn’t the math, it’s the story, the emotions, the comparisons, and the fear of judgment we face from others.
Listen in and think about the conversations you need to have to feel more confident about money.
