The bank of Mum and Dad | Taboo money chats with OUR PARENTS

You're In Good Company

Ever caught yourself wondering, how on earth do they afford it? Well, there's a good chance it's thanks to the bank of Mum and Dad!

And yet, whether or not your friends are getting money from their parents is very rarely spoken about. Of course, there is a huge amount of privilege inherent in this conversation (which is probably why it's not common to say anything!), but when we avoid these conversations, we also fall into the trap of comparing ourselves and wondering what we're doing "wrong".

With cost of living challenges and house prices continuing to rise, more and more young people are relying on an inheritance or significant financial windfall from their parents to help them get ahead in life.

That's why on today's episode, we speak to none other than Maddy's mum Fi and Soph's dad Tony about how they, as our parents, would hypothetically want us to raise a conversation with them about inheritance and borrowing money, in away that is respectful to each individual's financial situation.

But the conversation doesn't end here... We want your thoughts!
