The F-word

It’s a fact that people would rather talk about sex, politics or their mental health than money. Could this be why 24 million UK adults don’t feel confident managing their money, or why 85% of Australians don’t have a financial plan? Research shows that if we talked more about our finances, we’d all make better decisions, feel less stressed and more in control. Our kids would also be more likely to form good lifetime money habits. So it begs the question: Why would people rather talk about anything but their finances? Financial wellness coach and author of How to Save It, Bola Sol, joins comedian Olga Koch for a frank and fearless conversation about our weird relationship with money and why understanding it could help the financial services industry out.   How can we get more people talking about finance?
