Did you know that 63%, opens a new window of Americans don't talk about money with their family? Discussing finances can often feel uncomfortable, but author Kathleen Burns Kingsbury is dedicated to helping individuals shift their mindsets and find long-term financial health.
“Not talking about money has a negative impact on financial health in a variety of ways. These include, but are not limited to, the failure to successfully pass down wealth to the next generation, feeling isolated when faced with financial stress, and financial conflict in partnerships/marriage that can contribute to divorce,” says Kingsbury. “Also, those who don’t talk about money often feel money shame.”
Her book, Breaking Money Silence, equips you with the practical tools needed to navigate difficult conversations, overcome society's financial taboos and future-proof your finances.
“The first step in breaking your money silence is to be willing to look at your money mindset (how you think and feel about money) and how this influences your saving, spending, investing and gifting,” she says. “Once these mindsets are in your conscious mind, you can make decisions and adjust your thinking to support better financial health.”
Join us at the Erlanger Branch on Tuesday, May 12 from 6-7:30 p.m. to learn more on this topic directly from the expert. During her presentation, Kingsbury will discuss:
- Shifting your money mindset
- What good money practices look like
- How to start the conversation and take the first step
It's never too late to take control of the conversation and build your financial confidence.
