The Breakfast Club for 40 Somethings
Everyone looks like they have it together. Until you know what's really going on.
Five old friends reunite at their school reunion. They're in their 40s now, and from the outside, life looks pretty good. Careers. Relationships. Families. Homes. Holidays. The carefully curated version of success we all see on social media. But scratch the surface and the reality is very different. Behind closed doors, each of them is dealing with something they haven't been sharing, and money is tangled up in all of it. Debt. Relationships. Career choices. Family expectations. Financial secrets. Regret. The pressure to keep up appearances. And the uncomfortable realisation that the life you thought you'd have by now isn't necessarily the life you're living.
The Five Conversations About Money That Will Radically Change Your Life
The most important money decisions in your life rarely begin with a spreadsheet. They begin with a conversation.
Money touches almost every important relationship we have. Our partners. Our parents. Our children. Our friends. And ourselves. Yet it can be one of the hardest things to talk about. We avoid conversations because they feel awkward. We don't want to argue. We don't want to appear greedy, controlling, unsuccessful or uninformed. Sometimes we simply don't know how to begin. But avoiding money conversations can have consequences that last for years. In The Five Conversations You Need to Have About Money, Vanessa Stoykov helps you start the conversations that can change what happens next. Drawing on more than 25 years of conversations about money, the book explores how our beliefs, behaviours and relationships shape the financial decisions we make, often without us even realising it.
