Tidings from Hazel Kahan:

We’re very young when we learn our first money lessons–that it’s unacceptable to ask how much or to tell how much–how much  do you make? how much did that cost?  Why do we have such taboos and secrecy?  What are we protecting?

Tune in to Tidings from Hazel Kahan on Wednesday January 12th at 6.30 pm and you’ll hear the answers people gave me when I asked them these questions.
