TALKING ABOUT MONEY WITH YOUR ADULT CHILDREN

Money is one of the last real taboos left in most families. The silence feels protective, but it usually causes far more trouble later: confusion during a health crisis, conflict after a death, resentment built on assumptions nobody checked. This guide gives you a practical way to open the conversation, covering your own plans and wishes, requests for financial help, boundaries, inheritance and care, without having to share every number if that is not right for your family.

• How to open the conversation without it feeling like bad news
• Scripts for requests for money, and for saying no kindly
• A boundaries worksheet you can agree on and stick to
• A family meeting agenda that keeps it calm and useful
• Inheritance and care talked about now, not guessed at later
