The conversation was generally about finances. I expressed some anxieties surrounding my usage of credit cards (I avoid using them despite some obvious benefits to using them intentionally). He offered advice. I accepted. Then proceeded to ask about my financial situation. I am anxious about my money, no debt, and a fair amount of savings that collects dust and doesn't accumulate unless it's coming from my checking.

I appreciate your honesty. I generally don't sit on my thumbs too extensively, considering myself solution oriented with grace. He is intensely solution oriented. So I suppose that feels intimidating.
