Money and family dynamics

Money amplifies existing family dynamics—inequality between siblings, control by a parent with resources, shame about spending, debt kept secret—turning financial transactions into battlegrounds for deeper conflicts about love, autonomy, and worth. Handling money well in families requires the same brutal honesty you'd need in any relationship, plus the willingness to separate financial decisions from emotional wounds that predate the money itself.
