“Couples and money” is being discussed more and more frequently in the media. But what about those other money conversations?

You know, the awkward money conversations with family and friends. Maybe your friend asked to borrow money. Or you need to discuss your parents’ financial plan after retirement.

Everyone seems to dread these, and for good reason...if they’re not handled in a healthy way, the relationship could suffer as a result.

As our guest, Erin Lowry, author of the Broke Millennial series, teaches us:

• How being proactive in talking about money can help you avoid a crisis later [04:23]
• How to have awkward money conversations in a tactful, healthy way [09:12]
• Why it’s important to get vulnerable and have the money conversations that others typically avoid [18:50]

In this episode, we examine:

• How men can support their partners [7:07]
• Steps female breadwinners can take to decompress without putting a dent in their budget [3:56]
• How employers can take a stand to support women in the workplace [19:48]
