08/09/25 - Breakfast Bites: Have you ever talked about money with your parents?We talk alot about money on MoneyFM 89.3: How to handle your money, how to talk to your kids about money, budgeting, companies to watch, etc. But have you ever actually talked to your parents about their money?
It feels like roles have reversed when this talk happens. CPF, insurance, savings, bills, investments… all very sensitive stuff.
But it’s important; because chances are that we’ll have to step in at some point to help manage our parents’ finances. Audrey and Emaad discuss how to start the conversation early before an emergency happens.
