BT Money Hacks: Are you repeating your parents’ bad money habits? (Ep 170)

How much do our parents’ money habits shape our own financial behaviour? Turns out, quite a lot. In this episode, host Lee Kim Siang sits down with Audrey Tan, co-founder of PlayMoolah, a financial education company, to talk about how the money narratives we inherit hold us back from achieving our financial goals. Plus, we hear from Edwin Ooi, senior financial advisory specialist at MoneySmart, about the shocking results from their recent survey.
