I was talking to someone about money today.
I'd love for us to talk more about money. Like... in detail. But it's such a taboo.
I’d love a way for people to be able to anonymously share their financial situations so I can compare because I have no idea if our future is good or bad or what.
Does this exist?

I mean... Relatively we're doing well. We are in a very fortunate position. But I'm looking at state pension ages going up and lower birth rates meaning the old outnumber the young, and increasing life expectancy and kids being at Uni (maybe) when I'm in my mid-to-late-50's. There's a lot of life to come! And I can't be working for all of it.

@ross I’ve thought about this. Not just for “money” but other things. Such as comparing electric/gas usage, or weekly food costs. Just to get a “feel” and comparison to know if I’m on the right track.
