Teaching children about money equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their money effectively now and in the future. Children who do better with money tend to have parents/carers who talk to them about money and show them how to complete money related tasks.

Having conversations about money builds children’s confidence on the subject and helps to develop their financial skills as adults.

Everyone has money worries – and for many, the challenges of the pandemic have brought these to light – but the same way you take action to improve your physical health, you can also take action to feel more in control of your financial wellbeing too.

Research shows that people who talk about money:
• make better and less risky financial decisions
• have stronger personal relationships
• help their children form good money habits for life
• feel less stressed or anxious and more in control

Building money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face income shocks, life events and whatever the future throws at us.

It is Talk Money Week! Financial wellbeing, alongside physical and mental wellbeing is crucial and although the pandemic has made us talk more openly about these subjects, there is still work to be done to break down the taboo of talking about money.

Each November, the nation is encouraged to come together for Talk Money Week, to start money conversations in any walk of life. The week is designed to increase people’s sense of financial wellbeing by encouraging them to open up about personal finance – from pocket money to pensions.

To start the week off, we are looking at how Covid-19 has affected everyone financially.

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating!

Today on more than a billion people around the world will raise awareness about how we treat the planet. This year it takes place against the backdrop of a global pandemic that has forced many of us to rethink the way we live and demonstrated how quickly we can adapt. An often overlooked response to climate change is how we invest our money, which can be for good as well as growth.

We all must make a choice regarding whether we want to be on the right or wrong side of climate history: https://buff.ly/3ep4xbs
