77. Why is money still a taboo topic?

Why is money still taboo?

Following on from last weeks episode with Helen Johnson, we continue to unpick why money is still such a taboo subject.

"Is not talking about money, a privilege of those with money?"

We explore some of the times we've put our foot in it when it comes to money talk.

We take a look at how money taboo plays out in the work place, our religion,  at home, and socially.

So many emotions can come up with it comes to money. Shame, fear of being judged. 

But who benefits from us not talking about money? And how does it interact with power? 

Emily's golden rules for talking about money: Don't be boring & don't brag.
