Today, KT is taking Suze on a special adventure, so we’re revisiting an episode from November, 2019 called “Let’s Talk About Money.”  

Why are we so afraid to talk with our family about our money?  

Suze had received an email from a listener named Jacquline, who felt in the dark about the financial shape of her parents in-law. After reading Jacquline’s email, Suze got fired up, dashed off to her podcast studio and recorded the episode.
