S4 Ep8: Five Common Barriers to Great Money Conversations and How to Overcome Them

Simon and Bex identify five common stumbling blocks to having great conversations about money and discuss ways of overcoming them.

Some key points of interest covered in this episode include the following:

• Stumbling block number one to having good conversations about money is failing to actually start the process! [01:48]
• The second barrier is that talking about money can have an emotional dimension that many people find difficult to handle. [05:23]
• Thirdly, if you find financial content difficult and don’t fully understand the issues, you are going to struggle to have good money conversations. [13:12]
• Similarly, if you are unclear about the objectives of a money conversation or don’t want to face up to what needs to be addressed, no progress is going to be made. [18:50]
• Finally, Bex and Simon highlight the importance of following up our conversations about money and revisiting them, as appropriate. [23:49]
