Scary. Uncomfortable. An emotional minefield. None of your #$@& business. For most of us, personal finance is…well, personal. Research shows we’d rather talk about almost anything else. Well, here’s what I think: If we want to help our kids, our parents, our friends, and ourselves deal with money issues and create financial opportunities, we need to learn how to talk about it. After all, survey after survey shows that money is the single greatest cause of stress in Americans’ lives. I want to help change that.

While lots of families in my Queens neighborhood spent Sunday nights playing board games at the kitchen table, the Kobliners did things a little differently. My dad would break out his old-school ledger, Mom would open up the bills, and we kids would watch as our parents put our financial house in order. Okay, maybe the Kobliners weren’t the wildest bunch on the block, but that kind of openness about money stuck with me my whole life—it’s a big reason I got into writing about personal finance.
