“I never had a conversation with anyone about personal finances until I was in my late 20s. In fact people often made me feel greedy for asking for more when negotiating my salary at the start of my career.”

In this week’s My Millennial Money💰we spoke to an Advertising Specialist from London about their relationship with money. They tell us how they were able to capitalise on family support to change their finances, and then pay it back too!

“Budgeting and financial planning is a practice. The more you practice the stronger you get. You might get it wrong at first but you’ll get better at it over time but the key to making it all work is to make a plan, write it down and reflect on the plan often.”

“I would say I have a good relationship with money now. It’s pretty boring to be honest, as I’ve become more financially secure I obsess much less about my money. It’s so strange to say that because I used to have such an anxious, scarcity mindset when it came to my money.”
