Talk Money Week (3-7 November)
MAS have put together a wealth of resources to encourage people to start conversations that can improve their financial wellbeing.

The themed blogs are entitled:
- Start the conversation with a debt adviser
- Start the conversation with young people
- Start the conversation with creditors
- Start the conversation with loved ones
- Start the conversation with someone you trust (if you are worried your finances have been taken out of your control by someone in your life).
You’ll be able to read the blogs on Money Advice Scotland’s website. Look out for them on our social media channels next week and please share.
