Summer slows life down just enough for the conversations we usually avoid, especially the ones about money. On RTHK’s Money Talk, I talked about how July creates rare moments of connection — family gatherings, holidays, long afternoons — that make financial conversations feel natural rather than stressful. With wealth becoming more global and families managing assets across borders, these talks matter more than ever.

I shared how curiosity, simple questions and small teachable moments with kids can turn money into a family story instead of a taboo. Summer gives us space, and when we use it well, financial clarity becomes much easier. Listen to the interview here.
