Caribbean Style - Insights from Island Money365! | Ep. 377
In this special episode of Money Talk With Tiff, host Tiffany Grant sits down with Petra-Ann Brown, the host of Island Money365, to talk about money habits, cultural expectations, and financial challenges facing people with Caribbean backgrounds—especially when navigating life and family expectations between the islands and the U.S.Check out the full episode show notes: https://moneytalkwitht.com/podcast-show-notes/navigating-family-expectations/Takeaways In Caribbean culture, it's common to live multi-generationally, with families supporting each other financially and emotionally. Expectations for financial support from children in Caribbean families can be very different than in the States. Be honest with your family back home about your financial situation to manage expectations effectively. Establish clear financial plans for supporting family members back home to avoid misunderstandings. It's essential to verify that funds sent home are used for their intended purpose, especially when building homes. Community support in Caribbean cultures is strong, often leading to a more interconnected relationship with neighbors compared to American norms.
