Brits are more likely to discuss politics and current affairs (50%) at the dinner table than finances (29%), according to a survey1. Gen Z (42%) and Millennials (37%) are almost twice as likely to discuss their finances over dinner than Gen X (23%) and Baby Boomers (21%).
Despite their willingness to talk money, 31% of Gen Z and 28% of Millennials feel uncertain about managing their money. As a result, they often turn to unofficial sources for advice: around a third of Gen Z investors look to social media or their friends for investment information. Around half of respondents said they wouldn’t talk to anyone about investing, which means they could be missing out on valuable advice.
Talk Money Week
Talk Money Week 2025 (3–7 November) is a timely prompt to pause and reconnect with your finances. When life gets busy, it’s easy to delay tax planning, investment reviews or succession discussions – but these conversations matter. Taking time now can reveal opportunities, ease future worries and protect the wealth you’ve worked hard to build.
