Money, like most things in life, is easy to mess up. The difference is that if you make a mistake with your finances, it can have life-changing effects. When chatting, keep in mind that honesty is key to having a productive chat.
A good thing to establish before you really get into it is that this talk is a no-shame space. Whether it’s you or your friend who made a bad move, we’re not here to judge or talk about “should have, could have, would have.” We can acknowledge when we make mistakes just as much as we can discuss solutions and ways to improve our financial situations—together!
🔥 Chime Tip: If it helps, write it down—literally. Take out a pen, a sheet of paper, and write down “No Shame Zone”, and place the sign in between you. Now, you can point at it whenever it’s necessary! It might sound funny, but it’s a physical reminder during your chat that we’re all here to listen, not judge.
