Helping you talk about money

The final event in the PES calendar is Talk Money Week, 3rd – 7th November. 

Money is often considered a taboo subject. But given most aspects of our lives are affected by our finances, not talking about money can cause problems. 

To help you talk about money openly and with confidence, visit Scottish Widows' Talking About Money page for hints and tips for starting the conversation.
