Many of us were brought up not to talk about how much money we earn or spend. We’ve been taught to consider this kind of information strictly personal, and that it is crass to discuss such things outside the home. However, while it can be in poor taste to brag or be nosy about money, people do need to be able to discuss financial matters openly in appropriate contexts –and I think we’d agree that the office of your divorce financial advisor is definitely an appropriate context! Yet, over the years I’ve been helping women navigate financially complex divorces, I’ve found that many women are just not comfortable with those conversations.
