Money stress is real — and most people don’t want to know the truth about their finances. Alison Howard from ABC Life Literacy Canada joins to explain why financial literacy isn’t about shame — it’s about starting where you are, no matter what.
In this episode, they talk about how fear and avoidance stop people from opening their bills, asking questions, or even realizing they’re paying avoidable bank fees. Alison introduces Money Matters, a national program designed to help adults build money confidence at a pace that works for them. Written at a Grade 6–8 level and free to access online or in-person, it’s a simple, judgment-free way to begin.
The key? Replace “budget” with “spending plan” — and take control without the guilt.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
