Money Wonders: Do You Talk About Money With Friends and Family?

Understanding your personal finances can be hard and it's even harder to know where to start. So we took to the streets to ask your thoughts on money. Yes. All the time. It's all. Everything I still could talk about. I went to Connecticut for the weekend. Uh, trying to have a relaxed time and everything we spoke about was work about salary, about investments. And I was like, all right, I, I just wanna have a chill weekend, just sit by the pool, you know. And, um, yeah, that didn't happen. Yeah, I think it's very important, especially between family. You get to know what your family does and how you're going to behave financially in the future. I feel like it's a very important thing to talk with your family and with your friends because at the end of the day, that's who the people you spend the most amount of time with. I make a priority to definitely with a lot of my friends since many people don't know about financial literacy growing up parents never did. They want to tell me the price of stuff to try to keep me innocent, which I think was great. Um, but now they're kind of starting to but I think my parents and the older generation is still pretty hesitant. But once I was, I don't know, 13, 14, it might have been good to know how much home furniture costs or something. Yeah. I'm really bad at the price is. Right. But maybe one day I'll get there. Not with friends, not really with our family a little bit because our kids are turning into teenagers. So, just to get them aware a little bit, my oldest is old enough to start working in a handful of months. So just the idea of the amount that your check says isn't how much money you actually have, you're going to need it. If it's $100 you're gonna put this much away. If it costs this much to live. Look how much gas is today. You know, that's going to change. Just things like that to be aware that there's always enough in a little kitty somewhere. Yeah, all the time. I feel like it's just as a fresh grad. That's sort of what you do. Try to figure out like where people are going and, and trying to understand what the norm is for this age because it's very, I know it's a very interesting time. Money is something I talk about with my friends and family, but not all of them always get it because some are in doing good things, some are doing bad things. Some have jobs and some don't. So it varies, it varies from person to person. So, yeah, mostly this is what I talk about with my friends, with colleagues and I, I always try to be interested like with colleagues, like, are you trying to save something? Can you save something or like, how do you mostly spend or like, yeah, and then the, with my as well with my friends. Yeah, I always discuss about that now, uh, I just, I don't know. Uh, probably just because we don't have any difficulties, uh, we don't speak about it. But, uh, yeah, for me, like, not always but I, of course, I discuss some certain topics and I share my view points to them and we, sometimes we cannot agree because their generation is different. Our generation is different but some of my friends can agree on the terms that I believe in terms of finances. But my family is from another generation basically. So it's not easy to agree on the terms.
