Understanding your personal finances can be hard and it's even
harder to know where to start. So we took
to the streets to ask your thoughts on money.
Yes. All the time. It's all. Everything
I still could talk about. I went to Connecticut
for the weekend. Uh, trying to have a
relaxed time and everything we spoke about was work about
salary, about investments. And I was like,
all right, I, I just wanna have a
chill weekend, just sit by the pool, you
know. And, um, yeah, that didn't
happen. Yeah, I think it's very important,
especially between family. You get to know what your
family does and how you're going to behave financially in
the future. I feel like it's a very important
thing to talk with your family and with your friends
because at the end of the day, that's who
the people you spend the most amount of time with
. I make a priority to definitely with a lot
of my friends since many people don't know about financial
literacy growing up, my parents never did. They
want to tell me the price of stuff to try
to keep me innocent, which I think was great
. Um, but now they're kind of starting to
but I think my parents and the older generation is
still pretty hesitant. But once I was, I
don't know, 13, 14, it might have
been good to know how much home furniture costs or
something. Yeah, I'm really bad at the price
is. Right. But maybe one day I'll get
there. Not with friends, not really with our
family a little bit because our kids are turning into
teenagers. So, just to get them aware a
little bit, my oldest is old enough to start
working in a handful of months. So just the
idea of the amount that your check says isn't how
much money you actually have. You're gonna need it
. If it's$100 you're gonna put this much away
. If, if it costs this much to live
, look how much gas is today. You know
, that's going to change. There's just things like
that to be aware that there's always enough in a
little kitty somewhere. Yeah. All the time.
I feel like it's just as a fresh grad.
That's sort of what you do. Try to figure
out like where people are going and, and trying
to understand what the norm is for this age because
it's very, I know it's a very interesting time
. Money is something I talk about with my friends
and family, but not all of them always get
it because some are in doing good things, some
are doing bad things, some have jobs and some
don't. So it varies, it varies from person
to person. So yeah, mostly this is what
I talk about with my friends, with colleagues and
I, I always try to be interested like with
colleagues, like, are you trying to save something
? Can you save something or like, how do
you mostly spend or like? Yeah, and then
yeah, with my as well with my friends.
Yeah, I always discuss about that. No,
I just, I don't know. Uh, probably
just because we don't have any difficulties, uh,
we don't speak about it. But, uh,
yeah, for me, like, not always,
but I, of course, I discuss some certain
topics and I share my view points to them and
we, sometimes we cannot agree because their generation is
different. Our generation is different but some of my
friends can agree on the terms that I believe in
terms of finances. But my family is from another
generation basically. So it's not easy to agree on
the terms.
