Are you still a financial child? (Finance Series Part 2)

Financial management is not a topic everyone wants to talk about. In fact, most people go out of their way to avoid the money talk. Whether it’s a credit score that needs work or a budget that needs focus, finances aren’t always the easiest to discuss.  But why do these conversations feel impossible to have? And how can we have a better relationship with money? When you refuse to discuss money, it might mean you are operating as a financial child. You don’t want to be bothered by bills, budgets, or credit scores. You just want to have fun.  In this episode, you’ll learn the 3 ways a financial child operates (and 7 ways to work that money into adulthood). Show highlights include: How to ditch the permission slip and create more comfortability in sharing finances. (6:33) Why carrying nothing but ‘fun money’ cuts the power dynamic in your house and molds a financial child. (9:15) How to have the most important conversations about money (before a crisis occurs). (14:30) The Seven Ways to work towards financial adulthood and make the money you want. (17:54)  ***DISCOUNT CODES, RESOURCES, & SOCIAL LINKS*** Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?
