Money Doesn’t Have to Be Awkward

Let’s Talk About It

Money. Just five letters, yet this word can be a source of immense stress, mystery, and even embarrassment for so many people. Despite its vital role in our lives, money remains one of the most difficult topics to discuss openly. During Financial Literacy Month this November, we at Tandia Financial Credit Union are breaking the silence and inviting everyone—members and staff alike—to join the conversation.

Why Don’t We Talk About Money?

For many, discussing finances can feel taboo. Research shows that people are often more comfortable talking about health issues or relationships than money matters. This discomfort stems from several sources, including a fear of judgment, lack of knowledge, or even past financial mistakes. Unfortunately, this reluctance often leads to isolation, stress, and, in some cases, financial hardship.

How Tandia is Helping Members and Staff Overcome Financial Silence

At Tandia, we believe that everyone should have the resources and support to feel confident managing their money. Financial literacy is not just a matter of understanding numbers; it’s about understanding how those numbers impact your life and goals. Whether you’re saving for a big milestone, handling day-to-day expenses, or planning for retirement, knowledge is power.

But we also recognize that financial literacy isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Everyone’s financial journey is unique, which is why we offer personalized financial support and resources to meet the diverse needs of our community. This commitment extends beyond our members to our staff. Financial well-being shouldn’t stop at the branch doors—it’s essential for everyone we work with to feel confident, empowered, and supported in their financial lives.

Tandia’s Financial Literacy Webinars – Open to All for Financial Literacy Month

Throughout November, we are hosting a series of webinars and pre recorded videos dedicated to various aspects of financial literacy. Topics range from budgeting basics to retirement planning, with sessions tailored to different life stages and financial needs. These webinars are open to all members and our dedicated staff, creating a safe and supportive space to ask questions, learn strategies, and share experiences.

Our team of financial experts will be on hand to guide participants through practical steps and strategies, answering questions along the way. Whether you’re a long-time member, a new Tandia team member, or simply someone interested in boosting your financial literacy, there’s a session that can meet your needs.

Building a Community of Financial Confidence

Financial conversations don’t have to be intimidating. By opening up about our experiences and learning together, we can build a community where everyone feels empowered to talk about money openly and without fear of judgment. At Tandia, we’re proud to foster an environment where financial conversations are not just welcomed but encouraged.

Join us this November, and let’s work together to break the stigma surrounding money.
