What would you rather talk about?
It still surprises me how personal finance and money is still such a taboo topic. Perhaps it’s because, over the past few years, I’ve been reading and surrounding myself with people who don’t find it uncomfortable to talk about money (mostly people with PF blogs).
CBC just posted an article called Money talk taboo for Canadians compared to love, politics, religion. That just completely blows me away. Even before I started this blog, I would have much rather talked about how much debt I had, instead of my political views, or my love life.
But it’s healthy to talk about all of those things, and when we talk to each other about things that we’re uncomfortable with, not only do we gain knowledge and insight, but we gain a greater understanding about how our peers operate. It becomes easier to understand why we do the things that we do, and it becomes easier to figure out what choices are the best for us.

Yes your right, people are uncomfortable when it comes to personal finance they dont want people to know they are in debt, they think if they dont talk about it , it will go away. Knowledge is power, the more we talk about money, finance and debt, the better.
