Mortgage Advice UK Search 0114 250 9100 Menu BACK TO NEWS Let’s Talk About Money 01/12/21 Talk Money Week is an annual campaign to get the nation talking about money. Each November the UK is encouraged to talk about managing money – from pocket money through to pensions, and to celebrate the work done by thousands of organisations to build financial wellbeing across the country. The goal is to turn talking about money from one of our least favourite topics into something commonplace. Talking openly about money is vitally important for our health, wealth and relationships. The effect of Covid-19 has made it more important than ever to start conversations about money. Research shows that people who talk about money: - make better and less risky financial decisions - have stronger personal relationships - help their children form good lifetime money habits - feel less stressed or anxious and more in control Building money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us. If you don’t know where to start, Martin Lewis (from Martin’s Money Saving Tips) has created a free financial education course through the Open University to help you learn and improve your personal finance knowledge.
