Among those of us who grew up in the Cretaceous, it’s considered vulgar to talk about money. It’s right up there with scratching your tush in public and talking with your mouth full.

LOL! Luckily for me, all my friends are vulgar, too!

I think pride is a big one. Credit cards have let a lot of people live above their means for a long time, and these folks are afraid of being “outted.” We thought you had it all together, but it turns out you can barely make your payments and you’re a mess… loser. The thing is that just about everyone is in the same boat, so you’ll probably find that starting that conversation is easier than you think.

I would think lack of money leading to pride issues.
I worry about my own pride and jealousy at times… even tho I know it irrational. Tho it does make me question life decisions.

Yes… lack of education (I believe) is a HUGE, HUGE problem. It’s something that keep people from making wise financial decisions at a young age. Society can do a better job requiring financial classes in school, sooner that having to take a class in college. Often, by then, people have already begun making stupid decisions with their money.

Good post.
