Podcasts about talk about money

Money is one of the top reasons couples split, and almost half of us dodge the conversation entirely to keep the peace. Bri Conn, CFP® and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP® make the case that avoiding it is the actual risk, and they get refreshingly personal about how to do it well, chicken nugget meltdowns and all. They dig into why the fight is almost never about the dollar amount, how a 20 dollar argument and a 100,000 dollar one are the exact same issue wearing different clothes, and why every couple needs a safe pocket of no-judgment "fun money." Along the way they share the specific structures that actually work: the credit report date before things get serious, weekly money dates dressed up with a little life and gratitude, and a single code word that can pause a hard conversation before it boils over. It's honest, funny, and built for anyone designing a shared life on their own terms.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why the argument is almost never about the dollar amount, how a small purchase and a six-figure one can be the identical communication issue, and what to address insteadHow to set money boundaries as a couple, what to share and what stays private, and why the boundary around what you tell family and friends matters just as muchWhy the person who manages everything solo is setting up a crisis, and how to build a backup so a death, disability, or illness doesn't become an administrative disasterWhy every couple needs a pocket of no-judgment personal money, and how "fun money" protects the relationship from guilt and controlThe concrete tools that make hard talks easier, from the credit report date to weekly money dates to a code word that calls a timeout before things escalateMentioned in this episode:Business Insider Article: I'm a childfree and a millionaire. I rent my home, have no plans for full retirement, and want to spend all my money before I die.Episode Hosts:Bri Conn, CFP® is a Childfree Wealth Specialist® at Childfree Wealth® and Customer Experience Manager at Childfree Trust®.

Talking About Money with Your Kids Episode 396 – When is the best time to start talking with your kids about money? At an early age, of course. But if you haven't gotten around to it yet, here are some ideas on how to get started. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 396 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: why don't people talk about money with their kids? The statistics are startling. For wealthy families, studies indicate that 70 percent will lose that wealth by the second generation, and 90 percent will lose it by the third generation.[1] Is there something you can do to avoid being one of those people? Maybe part of the problem is that, according to other survey data, 90 percent of wealthy parents don't even talk to their kids about money.[2] The reasons vary. Some parents are simply waiting for their kids to get older and hopefully more mature. Others haven't talked about it because they're still not sure what they're going to do with their money. Still others don't want their children to anticipate receiving money that might not be there in the future. And some have decided it's none of their kids' business.[3] There are other factors. One part of the problem may be socioeconomic status. In a recent article at Wealthmanagement.com, author John Knowlton, co-founder of Credent Wealth Management and a retired Registered Investment Advisor, argues that, in his experience, lower income homeowners who have already saved something for retirement tend to be fearful that their children will ask them for money. They don't want to become what Knowlton refers to as a “community bank.”[4] When it comes to higher income families, Knowlton argues that some parents worry that their children will become “trust fund babies,” and they'll be expecting a big inheritance. He also states that other parents don't want to start the discussion because they might be overwhelmed with personal appeals for money. This causes some to focus, perhaps excessively, on privacy issues, even with their own children. Furthermore, parents may simply be worried that their children will share family financial details with friends which could hit the proverbial gossip trail. This is because some parents choose to maintain a public facing image that is either greater than or less than their actual financial picture. Regardless of the situation, there's no doubt that the process can be stressful. According to a recent study by the CFP Board, 57 percent of Americans believe that money has created stress for someone they know well.[5] But is it better to avoid talking about it? Probably not. Avoiding the topic doesn't make it go away. In fact, it could make the stress level even worse. It could also result in resentment from your kids, a lack of trust, or someone making a poor decision simply because they don't have all the information they need. Worse still, you might miss out on something that could help build rapport with your family, like seeking input from your loved ones and working toward a shared goal. When's the best time to get started? If you haven't already started, now might be a good time to begin. But exactly how do you begin? That all depends on the age of your children. If your kids are still young, it's a great time to introduce some of the most basic concepts, such as what money is used for, how to earn it, and how much things cost.[6] Your children can actually learn some valuable lessons at the supermarket. Among other things, that's where you can teach young kids the difference between what you need and what you want. You need things like milk and eggs; you want candy and toys. They need to understand what comes first. A little bit later, you may want to introduce the concept of an allowance for doing certain chores around the house. You can even delineate the chores based upon their value, paying the child more for certain (more important) chores than others. Things shift when you've got teenagers. This is the point where they need to learn more about how to earn and save money. This is also the time when (hopefully) your child will get their first job, maybe pay some taxes, and hopefully begin investing some of their take-home pay. It might also be a good time to get kids interested in long-term investments. Nowadays it's easier than ever to set up a small mutual fund, ETF, or stock account for them. If you have young adults, this is where—assuming they are working and still living at home—it might be a good idea to start charging some rent. Just a token amount is often sufficient. It doesn't need to be expensive; it just needs to make a point about money. It's also a good time to start talking to them about a budget. The process changes when you have mature adults. If you haven't talked much about money yet, here's one interesting way to get things started. How about if, sometime around the holidays, you gave a token sum of money to each of your children with a specific instruction: they have to give the money away to someone who needs it. They get to choose who—or what—that is.[7] The hope is that such a gesture will get them thinking about their values and charitable goals. And maybe in a year or two you could increase the amount, coupled with a group discussion about the best place for the money to go. Also, by talking to your children about money, you have a chance to do something more. You can also teach your kids a thing or two about your own money philosophy, and some of the habits that might have helped you get to where you are today. It's also a good chance to talk about some of the values that are dear to you. Your experience and wisdom are of value to others. Don't let them go to waste. When your children become adults, you might also be able to move from talking to your kids about money to talking about their legacy. If you frame the discussion properly, it might shift their focus from a sense of entitlement to a sense of responsibility. One final thought: just talking to your kids about their future is a step in the right direction. But you're probably going to need something more than that. You're also going to need to make some difficult decisions, preferably together. But at least now you can do it with everyone onboard. Being open is usually the best policy. If you're unsure where or how to start the discussion, perhaps a Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help. Your Security Mutual Life insurance agent can help assemble your financial team and coordinate with your attorneys and tax professionals to review your situation and to determine the insurance plan that will best suit your needs and objectives.

Trevor is one of the most honest voices I've come across in this space and this conversation did not disappoint.We talk about what foster care actually requires and why a big heart and a spare room is not enough, the government's commitment to 100,000 new foster carers and why quantity without quality worries both of us, why foster carers are underpaid and why we need to stop being uncomfortable talking about money in the context of care, the difference between profit and profiteering in residential children's homes, and what needs to change to make fostering a sustainable choice for more people.Trevor also makes a comparison between foster carers and surgeons that I haven't stopped thinking about since we recorded this.If you're interested in training for your local authority, organisation or team, I work with a range of organisations across the UK delivering skills-focused safeguarding and social work training.

In this episode, Paul is joined by Nitesh Rupalia, Technical Project Manager at Taylor Wimpey South Wales, for a fascinating discussion on one of the most overlooked relationships in construction:The link between commercial, technical and operational teams.Drawing on experience across developers, architects, Tier 1 contractors and national housebuilders, Nitesh shares why projects perform best when design managers, QSs and site teams stop operating in silos and start working as a single project team.The conversation explores: why the traditional separation between design, commercial and operations creates unnecessary risk;  how involving specialist subcontractors earlier leads to better design, greater cost certainty and fewer variations;  the impact of the Building Safety Act on procurement, design development and contractor collaboration;  why design managers should be commercially focused—not just technically focused; and  how aligning project incentives around time, cost and quality leads to better outcomes for everyone. Paul and Nitesh also discuss the importance of attending each other's meetings, sharing responsibility for decisions, and creating an audit trail that makes final accounts far less contentious.The episode closes with a powerful reminder:the most successful construction projects aren't delivered by brilliant departments—they're delivered by brilliant project teams.A practical and thought-provoking conversation for QSs, Design Managers, Project Managers and Commercial Directors looking to improve collaboration, reduce risk and deliver better projects.---------------------------------

Ask Rachel anythingSeven in ten teenagers say they're very or extremely interested in investing. Not just curious, genuinely, actively interested. The problem is that most of us parents didn't become aware of investing until we were young adults or older, and half of parents say they wish they'd started sooner. That's a regret a lot of us are carrying around quietly, and without realising it, some of us are passing that same late start on to our kids.Teenagers today aren't waiting. They're already getting an education, just not necessarily the right one. They're watching creators on TikTok and YouTube who make it sound like picking the right crypto coin at the right moment is basically a personality trait. They're seeing posts about teens who turned a hundred pounds into ten thousand, and almost nothing about the ones who lost everything trying. It's exciting, it's fast, and it's completely untethered from the basics that actually build long-term wealth.That's why I invited Sonia Beardsmore, mum, former professional, institutional trader, and author of the book Raise a Mini Investor to talk to us about how we can discuss investing with our kids, how to start them young, and what a difference the deep financial literacy they can build while they're young and curious could really make in the long term. Sonia BeardsmorePrevious episode about pocket moneySupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Money. It's one of the most charged topics we face—filled with hope, fear, judgment, and possibility. It can bring up questions of worth, security, freedom, and even identity. And for many of us, it's the place where our spiritual beliefs and our lived experience don't always seem to match. In this talk, drawn from Unapologetic Manifestation, we'll take an honest and compassionate look at our relationship with money. Not just what we have or don't have—but the beliefs, patterns, and unconscious scripts that shape how money shows up in our lives. Because the truth is, money is not just a financial issue—it's a consciousness issue. Guided by Rev. Ken Daigle, we'll explore how scarcity thinking takes root, how it keeps us stuck, and—most importantly—how to begin shifting into a deeper experience of sufficiency, alignment, and flow. This isn't about bypassing reality or pretending everything is fine. And it's not about magical thinking. It's about doing the real work—spiritually, emotionally, and practically—to transform your relationship with money from the inside out. Because when we change our consciousness, we change our capacity to receive, to circulate, and to create. And that's where true abundance begins.

Money and dating are rarely just about money—it's about values, identity and the stories we each bring into a relationship. In this Money Tales Deep Dive, Cammie Doder and Sandi Bragar unpack why money can feel so difficult to talk about while dating, whether you're in your 20s or later in life. From early impressions to deeper commitments, Sandi and Cammie explore how our individual money histories shape the way we show up and why avoiding these conversations often creates more friction than clarity. Drawing on insights from past Money Tales guests like Jeremy Savlov, Sarah Van Voorhis and the concept of “Getting Financially Naked” from Steve Demaray, this conversation reinforces a core truth: when we're willing to get honest about money, the stronger the foundation we build. Throughout the episode, the conversation moves from emotional awareness to practical application. Cammie and Sandi discuss navigating differences in spending, saving and financial expectations. They also highlight the importance of curiosity over judgment—understanding why someone thinks the way they do about money before trying to align on decisions. Whether you're just starting to date or building a long-term partnership, this episode offers a thoughtful lens on how to approach money conversations in a way that builds trust, not tension. Three Listener-Relevant Topics When to bring up money in dating – How early is too early and what signals it's time to go deeper? Understanding your partner's money story – Why financial compatibility isn't about sameness, but about awareness and communication. Navigating differences without conflict – How to stay curious, avoid judgment, and build shared understanding even when perspectives differ.

Our guest in this episode, Carl Richards, talks about why it's so hard for couples to talk about money, and why money isn't just about money. Carl's “Sketch Guy” column ran in the New York Times for a decade. Our conversation delved into our personal histories with money and relationships.

In this special “girlfriend chat” episode, Caterina Rando invites you to look at your relationship with money and why women often don't talk about it enough, even though it's a major stress factor in business and life. She shares the importance of building money confidence and mastery through earning, saving, protecting, and growing, while also increasing sales and getting support instead of doing every task yourself. Caterina introduces seven stages of money in business, and asks you to identify where you are, how long you've been there, and what actions you'll take to progress. This episode is essential for any woman who wants to amplify her money confidence and her money savvy. 

I am so excited to share this week's conversation with you. I had the joy and honor of being a guest on the Money, Manifestation, and Business podcast with my friend, former life coaching client, and brilliant coach Jamie Berman. We had a deep conversation about navigating money and manifestation in your relationships. And when I say manifestation, it's really just about managing different values and approaches, no matter what you're talking about with your partner. In this episode, Jamie and I dive into my Soul-Centered Communication framework — Solution-focused, Open-hearted, Uncomplicated, and Loving. We talk about stress cycles and how to recognize when you're in fight, flight, freeze, or appease mode. And we explore the concept of psychological safety and how to create it in your money conversations. This conversation is practical, strategic, and will shift how you approach not just money conversations, but all the harder conversations in your marriage. Here is the scoop on what's included — ✨ Episode at a Glance The Soul-Centered Communication framework: Solution-focused, Open-hearted, Uncomplicated, Loving Why our entire life happens inside of a conversation The three elements of connected conversations How to recognize stress cycles: fight, flight, freeze, appease Why someone saying "yes" but never following through is actually a stress response (not lying) What psychological safety is and why it matters in money conversations How the words we use create and inspire feelings and results The difference between "we have a problem" vs. "we have an opportunity" Why loving yourself equally matters in conversations about money Resources Mentioned In This Episode: The Questions for Couples Journal Private Coaching with Maggie Free Workshop: The Growth Gap Marriage Mindset Makeover The Money, Manifestation & Business Podcast with Jamie Berman

Money is a hard topic for any couple, but in a blended family, it often carries even more weight. It's rarely just about numbers. It's about history, protection, prior commitments, loyalty, fear, values, and the future you're trying to build together.In this episode, we sit down with Brian K. Peterson to unpack why money conversations feel so loaded in stepfamilies, and how couples can approach them with more wisdom and unity. Instead of treating money like a scoreboard, Brian invites couples to ask a better question: What are we trying to build together? That shift can move you from conflict and anxiety toward collaboration and peace.You'll also hear why a unified financial vision matters, especially with child support, co-parenting stress, legal battles, and shifting seasons that can make stability feel fragile. Join us as we explore why unity isn't sameness, it's honoring each person's story while intentionally building a shared future. Brian is a husband, dad, and stepdad, and the founder of Blended Family Financial. He created the Planning Built for Life® process to help stepfamily couples move from financial tension to shared clarity and direction. He and his wife, Cara, are passionate about building strong blended families, and he's the upcoming author of Blended Family Finances: How to Talk About Money, Plan for the Future, and Build a Life You Love.If money has become a source of stress, silence, or disconnection in your relationship, this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and start moving toward a more intentional and united path.You'll Discover:Why money conversations feel more complicated in blended familiesHow fear, protection, guilt, and past experiences quietly shape financial decisionsWhat a unified financial vision is, and how it helps couples move from conflict to collaborationHow to think about legacy as something you live now, not just something you leave laterResources from this Episode:Get your FREE copy of Blended Family Finances (limited offer) by Brian K.

Who pays on the first date? When should you talk about money in a relationship? How do you split finances with your partner — and what happens when you don't? Sabrina sits down with Jean and Cherie, the Tiger Sisters, to tackle every uncomfortable money question in dating and relationships — from first-date expectations and financial red flags to prenups, combining finances, and protecting yourself before marriage. If you've ever avoided "the money talk" with someone you're dating, this episode is your wake-up call. The Tiger Sisters bring their Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and business school backgrounds to break down the business side of love — why financial independence matters (especially for women), how to set boundaries around money without killing the romance, and why who you choose to marry is the single most important decision you'll ever make. Whether you're single, dating, or already in a relationship, this conversation will change how you think about love, money, and building a life with the right partner.

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda tackle one of the most common (and emotionally charged) issues in marriage: how to talk about money with your spouse without starting a couples war. Drawing from their own early money struggles and years of coaching Catholic couples, they unpack why these fights happen and how to prevent them.In this episode:Why wives are usually the ones pushing for financial change (and why husbands resist)How temperament (sanguine, choleric, melancholic, phlegmatic) affects money fightsThe importance of assuming good intent and choosing the right momentWhy a shared vision does more heavy lifting than any budget conversationHow to take one small step this week toward financial onenessShownotes & Resources

There are two sentences that can ruin a perfectly normal evening – “We need to talk”, and its evil twin, “We need to talk about money.” Even if your relationship is good, that phrasing makes it feel like somebody's about to get graded. Even when things are fine, nobody wants to be the person who turns a decent Tuesday night into a full relationship audit. So this week, we're introducing a better way: small doors. These are quick, low-stakes, real-life openings that normalize money talk without turning it into a whole thing.And the best part is, they're not just for couples. Small doors can be used with parents, siblings, friends, or any relationship where money differences create distanceWe get into:Why “we need to talk about money” is basically a panic alarm for most people, even if they're in good relationshipsThe difference between avoiding conflict and avoiding judgment, weirdness, and role shiftsWhy money conversations work better as appetizers than a full-day “financial summit”What “small doors” actually look like in real life (aka: our kid's expensive cherry habit

What's more romantic than roses and chocolate? How about not fighting about money. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG welcome Douglas and Heather Boneparth, the financial planning power couple who literally wrote the book on navigating money in relationships. Broadcasting from the basement (where love is patient and spreadsheets are kind), the crew dives into how people can build financial trust, avoid money secrets, and actually enjoy talking about dollars without it turning into a heavyweight title fight. Whether you're navigating finances with a romantic partner, a roommate splitting rent, an accountability partner keeping you honest, or a family member you're in business with, these principles apply. Because let's face it: our Stacker avatar isn't trying to impress Wall Street. You're trying to build a great life with the people who matter, without money becoming the thing that creates tension. Douglas and Heather break down what healthy financial communication really looks like, how to spot and prevent financial secrecy, and why shared goals matter more than perfectly matched spending styles. They also tackle the tricky stuff: different money upbringings, emotional baggage around finances, and how to reset when conversations go sideways. And since this is the basement, you'll also get practical reminders about key financial deadlines (because nothing kills momentum like IRS penalties), smart ways to teach kids about money, and Doug's festive trivia to keep things light. What You'll Learn: How to talk about money without it escalating into a debate or argument The warning signs of financial secrecy and how to prevent it in any relationship Why shared goals matter more than identical personalities or spending styles Practical ways to align spending, saving, and investing with another person How your childhood money experiences shape your adult financial behavior Smart ways to teach kids patience, work reward connections, and intentional spending Important financial deadlines to keep on your radar Why communication, not math, is often the real key to financial success This Episode Is For You If: You avoid money conversations because they always seem to go badly You're navigating shared finances with a partner, roommate, or family member You want to align financial goals with someone without constant friction You're single but have accountability partners or friends you talk money with You believe better communication is the key to better financial outcomes Question for You: What's one money conversation that felt awkward at first but ultimately made a relationship (romantic, friendship, or otherwise) stronger? Drop your answer in the Spotify comments or the Stacking Benjamins Facebook group. You might just help another Stacker start a better conversation. Because in the end, mastering money isn't just about returns. It's about building a life and relationships that work.

Episode 8: Ditch the 9–5, Break the Matrix & Let's Talk About Money (Without Having a Meltdown) Sooo… what if the 9–5 isn't the dream? What if it's just… the program?

One of the most powerful (and often unspoken) ways we shape our kids' relationship with money is through our own financial values and beliefs. The way we talk about money, how we feel about money and the habits we build around money ultimately become inherited by our children.In this solo episode, I reflect on the big hand we play as parents in creating our kids' money stories. I also explore what it looks like to model healthier financial skills with intention, clarity, and compassion—and why this work is as much a gift to ourselves as it is to the next generation.Modeling Healthy Money Skills for the Next GenerationOur kids look to us for guidance. They're always watching us, listening to us and absorbing everything we say and do, and it's no different when it comes to money. We're the ones teaching them and planting those seeds—whether we mean to be or not.The way we talk about money, react to stress, or make everyday decisions becomes the foundation of their financial narrative, shaping what they believe is normal, possible, or scary. That's why it's really important to stop and think about what we want to be modeling to our kids about money.Start by getting clear on your own values around money, including:What you want your kids to emotionally associate with money (stress, confidence, neutrality, joy).The beliefs you want to model around responsibility, self-sufficiency, generosity, and justice.When you become more intentional with both your beliefs and your emotions, you create space for open conversations, skill-building, and confidence—helping your children develop a relationship with money that feels grounded, empowered, and aligned with the life you want for them.Raising Money-Aware Kids in an Intentional WayLook for moments where everyday language and emotional reactions become powerful teaching tools. You'll notice how small shifts in awareness can transform money from a source of stress or silence into something you and your kids can talk about with honesty, clarity, and care.(00:06:45) Modeling Healthy Money Habits(00:08:01) Teaching Kids to Talk About Money(00:11:16) Navigating Emotional Reactions Around FinancesBuilding a Healthier Money Story at HomeYour words, reactions, and everyday habits quietly shape the money stories your kids carry into adulthood. By getting honest with your own values around money, you can model what you actually want to pass on to them, instead of defaulting to inherited beliefs or unconscious patterns. You'll also start to notice how emotional responses like stress, avoidance, or openness become powerful teachers, often more impactful than any formal lesson.This creates space to rethink money as a tool and a form of power that can be used responsibly and in alignment with your values. Ultimately, it's about giving your kids practical skills, emotional confidence, and a healthier relationship with money than many of us were ever taught.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Money is one of the biggest sources of stress in modern relationships — especially when you're raising kids, building careers, and managing caregiving all at once. In this episode of That's Total Mom Sense, I sit down with Douglas and Heather Boneparth — married couple, wealth experts, and co-authors of Money Together — to talk about how families can create financial systems that feel fair, aligned, and sustainable. We unpack what “contribution” really means, why fairness doesn't always equal 50/50, how couples can communicate about money without resentment, and how to build a shared financial vision — even with variable income or entrepreneurial careers. Whether you're parenting, partnering, or planning for the future, this conversation will give you tangible tools to manage money together. Learn more about your ad choices.

You may be surprised to hear that billionaires get divorced at roughly the same rate as the general population, which demonstrates that no amount of money protects couples from the tension that can arise when finances are at play. Dr. Alexandra often says that money is a tricky topic because at one level, it is very concrete – dollars and cents, spending and saving. But at another level, the topic of money evokes deep and meaningful questions about our core beliefs, our sense of identity, our desires, and our insecurities. To help us explore all of this, Dr. Alexandra is joined by financial-planning power couple Douglas and Heather Boneparth. You will hear them talk about:why money continues to be a source of tension for couples, even after couples become objectively successful. “financial infidelity”, the role shame plays with it, and the Boneparths' case for financial transparency in your relationship. how to get past the tangible, more surface-level topics around money to curiously dig deeper and explore why you and your partner feel the way you do about money (and spoiler alert: that story started being written long long ago!). how to approach prenups.Resources worth mentioning from the episode:Money Together: How to find fairness in your relationship and become an unstoppable financial team by Heather and Douglas Boneparth https://bookshop.org/p/books/money-together-how-to-find-fairness-in-your-relationship-and-become-an-unstoppable-financial-team-douglas-boneparth/273465fcc086fc3dSubscribe to The Joint Account newsletter: https://www.readthejointaccount.com/Learn more about The Boneparths: https://domoneytogether.com/Continue the conversation with Dr. Alexandra Solomon:Ask a question!

According to Ramit Sethi, a personal finance author and coach, a lot of couples get stuck bickering about everyday purchases. If you're hung up on what's in the cart at Target, or who's buying too many iced teas on the way to work, Sethi says you're missing the bigger picture, and a chance to live what he calls a truly “rich life” together. Sethi is the author of “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” and “Money for Couples.” He has a podcast, also called “Money for Couples,” and was host of the Netflix show “How to Get Rich.” On this episode of Modern Love, Sethi fields questions from listeners who want to have more constructive, and less tense, money conversations. He also explains how a little curiosity and compassion can help couples through emotional processes like merging their financial lives, disclosing their debts, and mapping out their dreams for a shared future. Read four takeaways from the episode here.
