Money Talks is Gail's answer to that tough -- and common -- problem that sits at the heart of money and relationships: how to tell your mate, your father, your best friend or your grandmother it's time for a change. Whether it's sisters fighting over the future of the family home, life partners arguing over whose shopping is really messing with the budget, or parents wondering when their adult child will ever leave the nest, the "money" gets blamed for what is actually an inability to figure out the real problem and deal with it objectively. That's where Gail steps in. Over seventy-five different scenarios drawn from years of working with real Canadians. She gives readers the language to negotiate effectively, showing them that for each problem there are steps they can take to find a solution. So many money issues have more to do with our behaviour than with the money itself. People can be delusional, selfish, inconsistent, fearful, lazy, bullying and entitled, and those traits are reflected in how they deal with money. Relationships seldom disintegrate just because people are bad with money. Wish your brother would grow the hell up and stop counting on you to save his butt? Want to tell your BFF that dreaming is only the first step in making a better life? Gail will show you how. She is one of Canada's most successful and respected financial writers, the author of Money Rules, Never Too Late, Money-Smart Kids, It's Your Money and Debt-Free Forever.
