- ‘Talk Money Week’ - November 2024.
05 November 2024
November 4th-8th is ‘Talk Money Week’.
Talk Money Week is a national effort to encourage everyone to help others, and themselves, have more open conversations about their money – from pocket money to pensions – and continue these conversations year-round.
With cost-of-living pressures continuing, it’s more important than ever that those troubled by money worries get emotional and practical support to help them constructively address their concerns and anxieties.
Research shows that people who talk about money:
- make better and less risky financial decisions
- have stronger personal relationships
- help their children form good lifetime money habits, and
- feel less stressed or anxious and more in control.
Building money conversations into our everyday lives can help us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us.
The theme of this year’s campaign is to ‘Do One Thing’, big or small, to help others improve their financial wellbeing. It could be opening a conversation with a work colleague, friend or family member, finding out more about how to manage money more effectively, or reaching out to expert money advice services.
Money worries affect people from all classes and cultures and are not restricted only to those on low incomes.

Note.
If it's not safe to talk about money openly - maybe your partner or family controls access to your money, or runs up debts in your name - it could be financial abuse. There’s no need to struggle on alone.
