The 3 Money Personalities: Which One Are You?

Are you super careful with your money, and religious about tucking it away for the future? Are you semi-loose with it now because you’re expecting a windfall to replenish your savings account “someday?” Or are you the type to shrug and say “YOLO” whenever you want to spend on something that you know somewhere deep inside you can’t actually afford?

Think about it for a second.

Here’s something you probably didn’t know: you have a specific money personality. Here’s something else you probably didn’t know: your money personality directly affects the way you interact with your money, your budget, and the world around you. Knowing the ins and outs of your specific money personality is a key part of figuring out how to best budget yourself and build a financial life that makes sense for you.

In last week’s video over on the TFD YouTube channel, Erin helps you out by going through each money personality, explaining what characteristics put you in which category, and offering some guidelines to follow and friendly advice on how to remedy the not-so-great parts of each specific personality. If you want to learn how to make your money work in the best way possible for you, head over to the channel to find out your money personality in this week’s installment of the 3-Minute Guide, brought to you by Skillshare.
