Forget the sex talk; nothing makes people more uncomfortable than a discussion about finances. Northwestern Mutual partnered with SoulPancake to create "The Talk," a 3:30 video of families who talk about EVERYTHING, accept finances. The future is uncertain, so financial stability is an important topic that's taboo to most.

A mother and daughter are so close that Mom knows all the details of her child's love life. But finances? Mom doesn't want to burden or stress her daughter, so the topic is never discussed. But that's changed by the end of the video, a transformation that takes place for the other families profiled, each of whom leaves more comfortable with financial talk.
