Praise for It Pays to Talk
"A practical book for men and women, young and old. It is smartly written, earnest without being preachy, and offers down-to-earth advice on how to forge productive conversations about money between spouses and partners, parents and children, and adult children and aging parents."
— Chicago Tribune
"Most families don't talk about money. Personal finance ranks with sex and drugs as one of the least-discussed topics and one fraught with emotional baggage. Bottom line: You have to fend for yourself when it comes to money, and the way to do that is to talk about it with parents, spouses, and children. We all have to take care of ourselves financially. This book is a good place to start."
