Let's get honest about our money problems

Many people struggle with money but rarely talk openly about it, fueling cycles of secrecy and pain. Money shame, the belief that financial struggles mean personal failure, can have tragic consequences—one story in this talk ends with a brother's suicide after financial collapse.
