Author Talk: "Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk"
Learn how to talk with your older parents about their finances.

About the Author: Cameron Huddleston is an author, speaker and award-winning journalist with more than 20 years of experience writing about personal finance. Her work has appeared in Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, Forbes.com, Business Insider, Chicago Tribune, Fortune, MSN, and Yahoo . She was inspired to write her book, Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk: How to Have Essential Conversations With Your Parents About Their Finances, while caring for her mom, who had Alzheimer's disease. She realized how important it was for adult children to have money talks with parents before an emergency or health issue leaves them unable to manage their finances on their own.
Since her book was released in 2019, she has been helping families break the taboo of talking about money and serves as Director of Education and Content at Carefull, the first service built to safeguard aging adults’ daily finances.
