Most participants were comfortable with the degree of their parents’ transparency. One young woman said details about money had been only gradually revealed ‘so that we keep our feet on the ground until we are mature enough to be responsible’. However, one young man said he had been fully told about family wealth, which made him more responsible. There was a virtual consensus that it was okay to talk about money with immediate family but not beyond. Another participant said she had learnt the non-monetary, i.e. sentimental, value of treasured assets such as family jewellery, while yet another found it ‘reassuring that not just our parents, but everyone’s parents, were telling their children to be private about money and not to flash it around’.
