I Keep Embarrassing Myself Talking Money with Older Coworkers 😬

I'm seriously cringing right now and need advice! 😰 I've made the same mistake twice with older colleagues and I feel awful. First incident: My 52-year-old teammate mentioned doing side work fixing cars since he can't work full-time due to health issues. I assumed he was living off investments and casually asked about it. Turns out, his previous businesses all failed and he's barely getting by. So awkward! 😳 Second mess-up: Another colleague (50) was discussing starting a business for retirement security. I jumped in with Roth IRA advice, thinking we were on the same page. Plot twist - he hasn't started ANY retirement savings yet. The business IS his retirement plan. Both times I created this uncomfortable tension because I assumed everyone thinks about money like I do. These are smart guys dealing with tough situations, and here I am sounding like some finance bro. 😞 How do I recover from this? Should I apologize or just pretend it never happened? #WorkplaceEtiquette #FinancialConversations #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
