Better Late Than Never | A mother-daughter duo finally start talking money

09/14/20 • 31 min

Cultural and generational differences play a big role in the financial relationship between parents and their adult children. In traditional African culture, parents and children simply don’t discuss finances, and for Ornella and her mother, Didi, that was certainly the case. That is, until Ornella followed in Didi’s footsteps and opened up a restaurant that serves traditional African food. Then everything changed, and they’re never going back. After, Certified Financial Planner and Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute, Dr. Brad Klontz, discusses the study of financial psychology and the role “money scripts” and shame play in our lives.
