Cheese, wine and money.

80% of women surveyed by the FSC rated their financial wellbeing moderate, low or very low and the Financial Services Council in NZ are taking action. They are currently running a three-month campaign to improve the financial wellbeing of women. As part of this the FSC has released ‘conversation cards’ with conversation starters. So grab some girlfriends, a cheeseboard and your drink of choice and let’s get those money conversations started.

Below is a round up of my 10 favourite conversation starters:

• How much of your income do you save?

• Who taught you about money?

• Do you every go to bed worried about money?

• What would you change about your life if money was no object?

• What makes someone good with money?

• What’s one thing you would tell your younger self about money?

• How have you gone bout negotiating a pay rise?

• What’s one thing you want to do differently with money this year?

• Who is the best at managing money in your household?

• How have your beliefs about money changed over the years?
