| | | 6 of the Most Uncomfortable Conversations About Money, Ever (And How to Have Them) Financial matters are a reality of day-to-day life. But do we talk about it? Not if we can help it! We get it. No one looks forward to asking a new partner about their student loan debt or sending a text to ask your best friend when she’s planning to pay back the money she borrowed. Show of hands: Who’s looking forward to grilling your parents about their final wishes? Or how about this romantic opener?: "Hey, honey, got an hour to go over the budget with me?" No matter what, it’s going to be awkward. Here are tips on how to make difficult conversations go more smoothly. (P.S.: It gets easier with each conversation you have.)
Plus: Podcast: Living Childfree And Making Empowered Decisions Around Motherhood The birthrate in the U.S. hit a 30-year low in 2018, dropping to 3.8 million births, illustrating the growing chorus of women who are happily choosing the childfree life. What does this still-taboo decision mean for their lives and finances? We delve into those questions and more on this week’s HerMoney Podcast.* Jean is joined by Maxine Trump, an award-winning writer, producer and director of the feature film, "To Kid or Not To Kid," which confronts the societal expectations around motherhood. They pick apart the vernacular — e.g., "childfree" vs. "childless" — talk about the genesis of the #birthstrike movement and explore the life cycle of childfree women. It’s a conversation every woman — mothers and the childfree — should hear. In this week’s Mailbag segment Jean and Kathryn tackle some big-money questions from listeners about investing at the same time you’re withdrawing money from your portfolio, weighing the renovate vs. move to a new home decision and more. Then in Thrive Jean spills the beans on the secret "consumer score" that’s impacting you in ways you don’t realize.

See our rundown of the best retirement tools and resources, depending on your work situation. 6 Women On The Most Important Money Lessons They Want to Teach Their Children There is no limit to the love mothers have for their children — or to the wisdom they hope to pass down to them.
