Talking about money, especially how much you earn, is often considered taboo. But talking about money can sometimes be a good thing.
It’s not exactly known why talking about money is taboo, but one hypothesis is that it highlights inequality or causes resentment.
Depending on the culture, the comfort level of talking about money differs. Some companies are looking to open up the compensation conversation more.
The 3 steps:
1. Be truthful about your budget; don’t overspend to fit in with your group.
2. Investigate your feelings about money through journaling or in conversation with trusted friends or family.
3. Follow or join online groups that talk about aspects of money you are anxious or uncertain about.
