We would like to speak to people about how their childhoods shaped their attitude towards money in later life.
Do you think the way you manage money has been affected by your upbringing? Did your family talk about money openly, or was it a subject that felt taboo? And how has that shaped your attitude to your personal finances today?
If you grew up feeling like money was tight or unpredictable, has this influenced decisions you make today? Did your parents start a saving habit for you as a child that has lasted into adult life? Tell us.
