Catchword for “financial incest”
Catchword: financial incest
Part of Speechn.
Quotation: While experts say the current financial crisis is a good way to discuss economics and the family budget, they also warn parents not to panic around young children who don’t understand and are powerless to do anything about it. “It opens up an opportunity to have discussion with children,“ said Rick Kahler, a financial planner and co-author of “Facilitating Financial Tools for Financial Planners, Coaches and Therapists.“ “But you don’t want to commit “financial incest”—being alarmist and having inappropriate boundaries with kids.“

Keep in mind that we're interested in terms that are not well-covered in mainstream dictionaries, or not covered at all. A mass of unexamined Google hits counts for nothing, but an early use of the term you've found in a book or periodical is very useful. A term does not have to be new to be recorded here, it merely needs to be worthy of more attention.
