Another reason to talk about money is to get good advice about your financial situation.

Professionals in finance, including investment advisers, pensions advisers, and debt advisers, are used to discussing money. They are not embarrassed by it. However, to give you good advice, they need accurate information from you.

It is impossible to get advice that fully reflects your situation if you are not honest about that situation.

You will be able to get generic advice about how to save money but not specific information about your house, your debt, or your financial affairs. It is worth being clear about your financial situation to get good, tailored advice from professionals.

As an added advantage, good advice will help you to improve your financial situation. If you were worried about money, that is likely to make you feel much less stressed.
