Fact: You can help everyone succeed in their financial goals.

How?

By talking about, sharing articles about, and supporting others in their money problems.

You’ve grown up in a society where it’s impolite to talk about money, where everyone is stunted in financial literacy unless they're a Wall Street banker.

You put your head in the sand when anyone talks about their salary, their financial freedom goals, or how to invest your first $1 in savings. We stop talking, stop learning, and stop growing.

Instead, you should be shouting money tips from the rooftops!

Help others learn about money and you help yourself in the process.

Learn something interesting about debt. Share it with a parent.

Learn something interesting about financial independence. Share it with a sibling.

Learn something interesting about Coast FIRE. Share it with a friend.

Learn something interesting about earning more money. Share it with a stranger.

And don’t leave it at that, talk about it during game night or next Thanksgiving when you’re done talking about your career and politics.

We need to remove the stigma around talking about money.

A lot of the stigma about money started in our homes and the way we were raised.

I know that as a child my family didn’t like to share how much money they made, how much debt they had, and good financial habits. Partly because my parents may not have known a lot about personal finances themselves, but also because it was considered a very private matter (and a topic that wasn’t discussed like politics and religion).

But after years of studying personal finance as an adult, I realized the more you look at opportunities, talk about good financial habits, and discuss how others can get out of living paycheck-to-paycheck, the more our entire society can be successful.

It’s time that financial literacy became a common conversation topic.

Making a change begins with you (and me, and everyone else).

You have the power to remove the stigma around money and finances.

You have the power to share knowledge, share tools, and provide support to others who are struggling financially.

You have the power to make a significant impact on someone’s life (as well as your life).

Time to make a difference.

Did your family talk about money when you were growing up?
