7 Money Words You Can't Say In Public
What happens when you stop hiding behind vague financial language and stop feeling shame about your financial situation?
In this episode, Ben tackles seven “money words and phrases” that most people are afraid to say out loud. He unpacks the emotional weight behind each word or phrase—from “I’m broke” to “money makes me anxious.” If you’ve ever avoided talking about money because of shame or fear, this episode is your wake-up call.
Here are the seven words and phrases that Ben Matthews, your professional dream-wrecker of shady lenders and predatory payment plans, explores in this episode:
(1:39) #1: “Debt”
* Most people have it, but few talk about it honestly.
(2:36) #2: “I’m Not Broke”
* Rebranding being broke won’t fix it—admitting it will.
(3:39) #3: “Bankruptcy”
* Bankruptcy isn’t a curse word—it’s a reset tool.
(4:38) #4: “I Can’t Afford That”
* This phrase is a flex, not a failure.
(7:30) #5: “I Make $X a Year”
* Salary transparency is key to equity and awareness.
(8:16) #6: “I Don’t Know What I’m Doing”
* Admitting ignorance opens the door to learning.
(9:09) #7: “Money Makes Me Anxious”
* Suppressing anxiety gives it power—naming it gives you clarity.
