Talking about debt
Here from CNN Money? Make sure to subscribe!. Also, if you have a few hours and want to start from the beginning of my story in January of 2007, here’s my very first post. Grab some coffee.
Very few people like talking about debt. Those who do are either 1. personal finance bloggers or 2. weirdos who don’t care what anyone thinks.
I fall into both camps, and lately I’ve been feeling more and more ok talking about the mistakes I made in the past. Probably because I’ve come so far since I made them.
Why don’t we talk about money
My fiancee and I talk about money quite a bit. Probably more than we even need too. But, given my unique debt situation, it’s often warranted.
But I can count on one hand the number of money conversations I’ve had with friends in the past 3-4 years. For such an important part of our lives, the topic just doesn’t come up that much. And I don’t mean conversations like, “How much do you make?” those don’t need to come up. But conversations like, “How do you guys save? Where do you save? Do you save money? Do you invest? How? Why?” etc. Those types of conversations could be fantastically interesting to have…
So, how do you start those conversations or are they better left to just your spouse and you?
