This week we’re supporting #TalkMoney Week, designed to get us all talking more about the pennies in our pocket, our thoughts and feelings around money, and how and where to get help if and when you need it.
Quite often, it’s just saying the words out loud that’s the hardest part. So, we’re asking you to Do One Thing to help take the first step: check the cost of living guides available on the MoneyHelperOpens in a new window website.
Research shows that people who talk about money:
- make better and less risky financial decisions
- have stronger personal relationships
- help their children form good lifetime money habits
- feel less stressed or anxious and more in control.
Building money conversations into our everyday lives also helps us build financial confidence and resilience to face whatever the future throws at us.
Money & Pensions service is an arm’s-length body, sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions, with a joint commitment to ensuring that people throughout the UK have guidance and access to the information they need to make effective financial decisions over their lifetime. We deliver this across five core functions.
We are funded by levies on both the financial services industry and pension schemes.
We often cite Money & Pensions service as a valuable source of impartial financial information so our clients can make better decisions.
