Money can be like our worth as people put into a number
Comment from : Jane Baker

There are many more reasons why people don't want to talk about money and it's often a cultural issue In European culture, talking about money is an uncivil or materialistic behaviour In chinese culture, you don't want to stand out as rich probably for the fear of being robbed or asked to lend money

Money wouldn't be so damn stressful if the ultra wealthy didn't hoard most of it and make us fight for what's left
Comment from : TransFemcel

We need to start to talk a lot about capitalism and how to improve or change it Now is the time because now it is possible
Comment from : Zeus A

The reason money is "taboo" is because when we live in a hyper individualistic society that has as its foundation certain social Darwinian ways of thinking about people; money becomes a easy way to categorize people by who is most valuable in a society that considers everyone a commodity Money is not a medium of exchange; it is a middleman that traps people in a societal passive aggressive way of non-violence to keep people in their "place"

Middle class families and their children stay in the hamster wheel because they don't talk about money It really is mostly about mindset

There are only three tangible things in life you can utilize to build assets: time, energy, and land Money is just an idea everyone agrees on

As someone who wrote the book, Breaking Money Silence, I am honored to be part of this documentary series The producer, staff and video/audio crew were top notch and the end product is great I can't wait to share it with my community and use it to continue to the dialogue around feelings and finance

The only people uncomfortable talking about money are those who have little, and there is a correlation If you’re uncomfortable talking about money, you’ll never have much

Comment from : dömp it

Sure, people get judged on money and many other things But the primary thing you get judged on is your work/ideas Quality and quantity And money should be a reflection of the quality of your work and ideas

Comment from : late night logic

Ecstasy is not just extreme pleasure Ecstasy is the realization of immortality and the realization that everything is heaven When you realize that it's so good It's infinitely good It's not just good, it's good to the infinite degree It's so much goodness that you can't contain it, your body can't hold it, your entire body shakes and shudders in a cosmic orgasm of bliss It's perfection It's total peace It's absolute love That's truly ecstasy

Comment from : Apocalypse Wow!

This video gets a few things right but one aspect horrendously wrong in my opinion Many people in modern society, due to their immediate situation, do not have the liberty to spend money on luxurious frivolities or even the ability to think about such a concept A very sizable chunk of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck without much means of escaping their financial root Could some of said population build the potential to escape this figurative pothole by making better financially educated choices? Yes, quite possibly, but probably not for the majoritybrbrI think money being a taboo is not societal at all, and completely individual For some people, money is nothing more than the stress of work that must be done in order to provide oneself with sustenance and shelter For some, money is a laughable afterthought Either way, to one group it only brings stress, and to another, it may as well be meaningless Realistically, the middle class is probably the only group that has any reason to converse about important financial decisions, and they're slowly disappearing Gen Z seems to be set up to be one of the poorest generations of our time if the trend of Millennials continues to hold strong This is one of the few eras where people are becoming LESS conservative as they age, and it's not without reason The number of benefactors of the current system has condensed into a small few that profit greatly at the cost of the financial security of many Many have begun to see the cracks in pure capitalism, and are scrutinized for pointing them out by those who have the power, by those who have the money
Comment from : Quentin Lea

Talk about money, talk about Marx
Comment from : Buncha

Not really! None of the reasons in this video is the real reason why money talk is taboo It is taboo because of the oppressive employers and the power they have in society Because of hidden slavery in every society
Comment from : KADIN YAZARSA

It is what money symbolizes that triggers the emotions Human beings map their environment through symbols A person living alone on an island would have a different relationship with money because the meaning of symbols change according to the environment
Comment from : Katherine Kelly

It's the money hunny $$$ matter more than human existence An attempt to defy nature
Comment from : David Pugh

Ppl judge I judge Period If we didn't we might choose the wrong friends, wife, job etc Because of the judgy side of ppl, (and ASS-sumptions about money) It is unfortunate that money is something we camouflage It might be that is an uglier side of life or because of fear of losing it or the shame of not having much I respect the taboo of money talk Whether you have it or not - it does tend to bring out the worst in ppl
Comment from : Jack Martinelli

The rich hates the poor They spit in their general direction The concept of raising wages is disgusting because it hinders their profit margins, and "hurts" their investors

Comment from : A respectable young man

It's so weird that you only talk about one side of the coin and present everyone as being ashamed of revealing their finances for fear of looking low of the ladder, when in fact I'm sure a lot of people precisely avoid bringing money into question for fear of attracting attention onto them because they bknow/b they're well-off, and so would prefer to avoid feeling like they should contribute more to society in one way or another given their means This aspect should be discussed as well

where i can find more information of this topic?
Comment from : Mikemixsosa

This is clearly addressed only to western upper/middle class folk People are not secretive about money AT ALL in other cultures or social groups I grew up in a place where money is discussed in many different ways all the time, and the culture supports spending it/sharing it rather than hoarding it

I realise that at 3:30 the guy is attempting to draw an analogy, but "Mask Wearing" was not a Social 'Norm' - there were fines associated with not wearing thembrThere have never been fines associated with discussing (personal) money So that analogy isn't helpful

why i give all my money way or lose it so never worry as long as bills are paid
Comment from : f c

You're either rich or you're poor--end of story It's nearly impossible to transition from one socio-economic class to the other Seriously Think about it If you know a lot of rich people, bYOU/b are probably rich If you don't know any, yes--you guessed it--you're probably poorbrbrRich people don't associate with poor people--end of story If anything, the wealthy look DOWN on the poor (obviously) They believe that people are poor because they are lazy, unmotivated, uneducated, dumb, selfish, impulsive, and other non-sequiturs The wealthy would never interact with such trash It is what it is 💪😎✌️brbr🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

Absolute rubbish What people need is a living wage and regulation of Wall Street
Comment from : Jason Pooler

i realized that i got an anti-savings mentality from that time the bank took my money as penalties from my savings account, as a kid (because the minimum was $50, and my mum needed cash so i left $45 on it, which were all absorbed because even my mum didn't believe the bank would take it they did)

Comment from : Snufflgpe

we need to destroy the monetary system its killing the planet, and only causes suffering and death, and only so thehalf a dozen top elites can maintain power over the 999999999 of the people We need to switch to a resource based meritocracy, that chooses prosperity of all, over the profits of a few

"financial therapist" thats not a real thing you people are a joke
Comment from : PARADOXICLES

I call BS!brHere are the real 3 steps:br1-Be born filthy richbr2-Explore the working class to make yourself even richerbr3-Convince the working class that the system (capitalism) is fair and the only reason they are poor os because they are not putting in the necessary effort and scream "meritocracy" everytime someone pomits out the holes in your theorybrbrbrThere you go, you're welcome!
Comment from : tommytalks77

Live within your means, ie SACRIFICE Instead of flossing that 50K SUV, get a smaller 30K vehicle Instead of $8 coffee, get the $2 one Think about your surrounding economic opportunities before having babies I blame schools, instead of semester teaching us about xyz, hypotenuse of this, chemical compound of that, have a financial/investing classes during high school

Comment from : Larie Tournelle

I'm a 63-year-old middle class cheerfully divorced white suburban male, no kids So, I admit that I've had advantages But my parents were also a little strict too I didn't do well financially but I wasn't poor either But I'm very frugal and I've been financially ok Always had used cars that I fixed myself I almost never ate at restaurants I'm not bragging or making excuses Just saying this so that you know the context of what I'm about to say next which is going to anger some of you I really don't understand this video at all It's amazing to me that people would feel afraid to talk about money, or anything at all, for that matter I'm going to make it simple for you guys You have much much much bigger things to be afraid of Just trust me on that There are some really scary things happening right around us I'm pretty well informed on world affairs and the younger generations are stepping into a truly terrifying future I'm not saying that your anxiety about money isn't real But I'm pretty sure that if you don't get over it quickly, you're not going to have time to address the much bigger problems that you are going to for sure be facing in the next 10 to 20 years Don't bother to reply to me because I have notifications turned off and I won't see your reply Just telling you this for your own information so do what you will but if you do reply to my comment here, I suggest you direct your replies to each other

Comment from : Temi

I appreciate a step in the right directionthis conversation needs to deepen to value creation and the subconscious purpose of money Money is not a "thing" unto itself it represents social, cultural and individual desires and fears ROI, NPV, IRRetc must take on deeper meanings
Comment from : The Hartleys

Money is NOT natural, and nothing about capitalism is natural, this is why it creates the monsters you see in the world We are supposed to be a gifting, communal, collaborative species Survival of the fittest is a lie and this belief is the number one evil in the world
Comment from : The Age of Goddess (my name is Aset Ra)

Talking about money literally gives you nothing good back and the possibility of many things that could be bad Just the way the topic is oriented and also covered by people who make money from this type of 'therapies' makes no sense, to me at least Unless you just want to report that these jobs exist, the other way around is simply useless
Comment from : Ayudado

Disappointing, no one on the video says how much money they have
Comment from : David Giardini

Everyone in this video makes good money There's no way they could speak about money so openly if this weren't the case Yet, they expect everyone to have the same openness to discuss money with other people How convenient for them

Envy is a very potent emotion that we prefer to avoid But all it is, is our innate desire for fairness
Comment from : Nicholas Dunbar

Great Let's not do anything to suppress or even challenge inequalities, no on the contrary, let's just try to eliminate our anxiety about those same inequalities This is a great example of how to focus on the effects and not the causes of a problem From the moment there is inequality, there will be stress, anxiety, and perhaps that is for the best Let's use this stress to change the system, not to reinforce it with this bullshit individual psychology
Comment from : Alexandre MD

AND! Employers have also frowned heavily on discussing wages with fellow coworkers Also "bam, all of a sudden everyone was wearing a mask"? Oh only if that were true! 😆
