Getting Comfortable with Uncomfortable Financial Conversations

Guest Name: Dana Oster

About the Guest: Dana Oster, Financial Wellness Program Coordinator at Boise State University

Money management conversations between young adults and their parents feel uncomfortable because it’s generally a new topic. The more often parents and their young adult children talk about finances, the more comfortable they can become with the subject.

1. Talking about money can be like trying on a new pair of jeans

2. Why conversations are uncomfortable for young adults and their parents.

3. Schedule money conversations regularly rather than hiding from money discussions

4. How to approach the topic for the first time. The “What If…” questions.

5. The value of asking multiple, reliable sources for advice

6. Making money a natural topic of daily conversations
