At nudge, we believe something powerful happens when people talk about money. Not the ‘What interest rate are you getting?’ kind of chat (unless that’s your thing) - but real, human conversations about feelings, confidence, goals and fears. Around the world, there’s growing momentum behind breaking the silence - encouraging more of us to speak openly, learn together and support one another.
And we’re here for it.
This year, for UK’s Talk Money Week the theme is simple: ‘start the conversation.’ Because whether you're in London, Lagos, Los Angeles or Lima, taking one small step to talk about money can make a big difference.
Money affects everyone, every culture, every family, every life stage. And yet, so many of us feel uncomfortable talking about it. That silence can make money feel isolating, stressful and overwhelming.
In fact a recent study from Science Direct called, ‘Opening up about money: The unexpected benefits of personal financial disclosure’ evidences that opening up about money can improve financial wellbeing (specifically by reducing anxiety), and that the pathway is via increased financial control. That aligns nicely with ‘start the conversation’ and supports the idea that facilitating conversations about money (not just teaching technical skills) is important.
Money confidence goes beyond literacy - it’s emotional, cultural, and deeply personal. And when we open up, we find connection. Even one honest conversation can spark confidence, learning and relief.
At nudge, our mission is to help people feel supported with money - wherever they are in the world. And we know real change happens when education meets conversation. That’s why we bring financial wellbeing to life through:
Live masterclasses where people learn, share and ask questions
Safe spaces to explore emotions around money, without judgment
Global education, designed for cultural relevance and delivered in local languages
Technology that’s built for sharing knowledge, so learning spreads to friends, family and communities
Because money confidence grows when people talk, not when they face it alone.
Starting a conversation doesn’t have to be a grand moment. It could be:
Asking a colleague how they feel about a financial decision
Sharing something helpful you’ve learned
Opening up about a money goal or challenge
Joining a nudge masterclasses and participating in the discussion
Tiny moments build big confidence. And together, conversation by conversation, we help break the silence around money, everywhere.
Whether you're an organization looking to support your people globally, or someone wanting to champion financial wellbeing in your organization, we’re here to help create space for learning, talking and growing.
Ready to start the conversation? We’d love to join you.
