I think in general, people just have no idea about money, number one. So whether that looks like your financial education, that's one thing. But I think in general, we don't talk about it. It feels like such a secret that isn't supposed to be spoken about. Don't ask about other people's salaries. Don't ask how people afford the things that they afford, how much they even paid for something.

So I think... This taboo has really caused us to feel uncomfortable just bringing up money in everyday conversation, even though we all have to navigate it in some way, shape, or form. And then we get into the harder stuff around, how were you raised? How did the people around you talk about money? How did you feel? What parts of your life made money feel difficult or hard to bring up?

And that can be really rooted in shame and guilt and fear and worry. And we don't like to be vulnerable. You know, humans are not really down with being super, super vulnerable, whether you know the person really well or not.

I would say practice. One thing that I always bring up to people is how important it is to communicate about your money. So that could be, hey, are you talking to your family about the estate plans? Which is another taboo topic, right? Talking about death is really hard for people. knowing that this is something you're going to navigate, but talking about what are your plans? What do you want?

Where is the money? Is there money? That can be really, really difficult for people because we're talking about the worst case scenario. So starting to have those conversations, not only with your family, but your friends, especially your spouse, if you're thinking about, hey, we want to move in together or one day get married, you need to know about the money because

What's going on with their money and my money and where are we at in general? So all of that's going to be really, really important. And then what I will say on a broader scale is having the conversation around workplace and what is the market rate? And did I ask for more money? Did I not? And all of those conversations need to start with a level of comfort, right?
