Understand and shape the money messages in your life.
Money Messages helps participants explore the messages about money they received growing up — whether direct or indirect — and understand how these messages influence choices around giving, saving, and spending today. This tool supports intentional reflection and facilitates articulation of the money messages users want to convey in their own lives.
