3. Money is not a shameful topic

We need to talk more about money. It’s not embarrassing to ask to be paid for a job, or to ask to be paid on time. It’s not grabby.

4. Keep a slightly strange Google Doc

Every time you hear someone’s salary or rate of pay, add it to a Google Doc. That way you will have points of data of what other people are paid, which will help with your own negotiations.

5. Seek advice

Ask your most sensible friend for money advice, or seek a financial advisor.

Some great websites to get you started are:
