Coming soon
A place to read, write and share honest accounts of the role money has played in people's lives.
Hear when it's launched →What it is
We all have a money story, and most of us have never told it, even to ourselves.
In Britain, money is one of the things we're least honest about. We rarely tell people what we earn, we hide our debts, and we keep quiet about our background or circumstances in case they give too much away. Most of us fight our money battles alone, assuming everyone else has things figured out.
Money Memoirs will be a growing library of honest money stories, written by real people like you. Reading them shows you what others have been through and what they learned from it. Writing your own can help you make sense of what you've been through and decide what you want from here. Sharing it, anonymously if you prefer, can give someone else the words for what they're carrying.
How it will work
A Money Memoir follows five sections, each with a short prompt and a few questions to get you started. Write as much or as little as you like, whether that's a private reflection, a list or a rough timeline. You choose whether to keep it to yourself or share it.
Where you are today
The role money plays in your life right now, and what's prompted you to look.
Where it began
Your earliest money memories, and what you picked up from the adults around you.
The patterns
The habits that keep coming back, and when money gives you energy or takes it.
The turning points
The redundancy, the windfall, the diagnosis: the moments that changed your money story.
What you choose next
Looking back at the whole story, and deciding what you want to take forward.
Can't wait?
Write your Money Memoir and send it in now.
