FINANCE

There’s a lot of money talk going on this month as we approach the end of the financial year and the start of a new one, but do we really understand the relationship we have with money (or lack of it) that evolves over a lifetime and its influence on our behaviour? We circle around it, interact with it, make decisions about it and have feelings about it… it’s like any emotional connection, each day you work at it, it gets better.

Money is a touchy subject. We all get a little bit testy and scooch around uncomfortably in our chairs whenever money is brought up. It’s serious stuff, but we’ve kept the cover and content illustrations of this edition of Brand You Magazine as light-hearted and colourful as possible to offset any tendency to moan and throw our hands up in horror at the very mention of our bank balance!
