Talking money with friends is unpopular across all generations, and more so among older Americans.
When asked which topics they regularly discuss with friends, each of the following outranked the topic of money: health, sex and relationships, politics, current events, and pop culture.

The younger a person is, the data revealed, the more likely they are to ask friends or relatives for financial advice.
