These two tags appear to be synonymous. Should they be merged, or should the tag wiki for finance be defined in such a way as to be discrete and distinct from the money tag?

The Money tag is currently defined as:

Family finance, and how children learn to handle money.

Finance has no tag wiki entry currently.

Additionally, there is the tag: Pocket Money, which also has no wiki summary.

Should all three be merged into a single tag, with a wiki matching that of the current Money tag? Or is there reason to have a finer level of distinction (say separating family finance and budgeting from teaching children the value of money)?

Yes, merge all 3 into Money and set tag synonyms up for the other tags pointing to Money. All three are effectively identical.

  • Just do it; this can't be all that controversial. Be sure to set up synonyms for the most obvious alternatives.

  • When you do merge them, please be sure to put a link to money.stackexchange.com in the tag wiki -- some questions might be a better fit there than here. It's also linked in the FAQ.

No, we should keep them as separate tags to indicate separate concepts.

The Money tag should have the wiki changed to "Money as it relates directly to children: allowances, learning how to handle money, gifts, etc.".

The Finance tag should have a wki entry indicating that it is for "Family finance, budgeting, and the overall costs associated with raising children".
