How to talk about money with your partner, parents, and kids

<p><strong>Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it’s the best ways to start the money conversation, and avoid a fight. Hosted by Frances Cook.</strong></p> <p><em>This episode is brought to you by Milford Asset Management. </em><br><br>Money is the great unspoken force in many of our lives, making certain things possible, and keeping other things out of reach. <br>But there’s huge power in starting to talk about it, especially with those we’re close to. <br>If you’re coupled up, it’s really important to be on the same page as your partner, to make sure that you’re not accidentally sabotaging each other. <br>There’s more than one way to successfully share your finances, but the key is, you do need to know what your strategy is. <br>There’s also the matter of talking to your kids about money, or even your own parents. <br>These money conversations can be crucial, but also so hard to have. <br>We all bring our own baggage to the conversation, which can make it more likely for emotions to flare up. </p> <p>For the latest episode, I spoke to Kate Power from Milford Asset Management</p> <p>I'm on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FrancesCookNZ/">Facebook here</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/francescooknz/">Instagram her</a>e, and <a href="https://twitter.com/FrancesCook">Twitter here</a>.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
