New approaches to money have exploded. Yet money remains taboo. Less than half of you share personal finance information with your friends and family.

But that’s all changing. Now more and more of you are talking about money because it leads to better outcomes.

In an effort to provide personal finance insights through transparency (and have a bit of fun), I’ve created a series titled Money Talks that showcases how real people in Charlotte approach money. It’s an anonymous way for you to share your money experiences and insights with our city. 

Our 25-question Money Talks survey typically takes 15-20 minutes to complete. A few notes:

• Information: Do NOT share personal identifiable information! Don’t be dumb. This will be published. Before completing, review our privacy policy and terms of use. 
• Optional: All questions below are OPTIONAL. 
• Selection: Readers love detailed, actionable personal finance insights from a range of income levels. We choose which submissions based on these factors. 
• Editing: Don’t worry about spelling, grammar, or formatting. We edit all submissions for length and clarity. 
• Questions: Shoot me an email at ted(at)tinymoney.com
