Money Talk: Financial Planning Seminars and Publications (Money Talk) was established by Dr. Barbara O’Neill, CFP®, AFC® in 1992. The mission of Money Talk is to write, speak, and review content about personal finance topics. Over the past 30 years, Dr. O’Neill has provided financial education content development services for over 50 clients through a wide variety of freelance writing, speaking, and editing assignments.

Headquartered in Ocala, Florida, Money Talk provides “as needed” financial education content development services for public and private organizations. When groups have a grant-funded financial education program, a one-time special project that needs completion, or a workload that exceeds their current capacity, Money Talk can help them to get the work done.

Projects for clients have included the development of white papers, test questions, blog posts, lesson plans, radio shows, website and social media content, textbook chapter material, brochures, newsletter articles, curricula and facilitators’ guides, program evaluation summaries, webinars, and live financial education presentations for consumers and professionals.

Money Talk has also been hired to review and revise personal finance curricula, review and revise financial education curriculum standards, and serve as a subject matter expert/technical editor for television shows, trade books, and text books.
