Everyone already knows that every person in the world is different and unique. We all have our own distinct personalities. Recent studies have shown, however, that most of us actually fit into 5 stereotype personalities when it comes to our money habits and behaviour. Yes we all have our own money personality. It’s quite important that you become aware in which category of money personality you fall under, as doing so can help you to live a better life both financially and emotionally as well. Here are the five stereotypical types of money personality. Carefully analyse them all and see where you fall under:
People Who Believe In Splurging Their Money
This category, as it’s name implies, is the kind of person that just loves to spend and splurge on almost anything. These people can be careless and reckless, as they see no reason not to spend their money and, as an effect, are always usually out of money. These people usually put themselves at risk because of their reckless habits. Fortunately, these people also tend to be quite generous because of their spending habits.
The People Who Love To Save Their Money
This category belongs to people who just love to save their money and believe that every single cent is invaluable to their cause. They often believe that money that simply sits on a bank is the best type of money. They always check new ways on how to save money by cutting costs and asking for price reductions. Some people view these people as tight fisted people who wouldn’t spend for a single cent on anything unless they believe it’s truly important. Fortunately, these people have no trouble saving money and that can get them ahead in the long run.
The People Who Invest Their Time In Planning
These people just hate risks, plain and simple. They do a ton of research before making any investment that may put them and their financial status at risk. They chase for security endlessly and are completely immersed in making risk-free decisions that can benefit them in the long run. These people could simply let opportunities pass them by because of their mindsets. Fortunately, their risk-averse personalities can help them play it safe all the time and therefore are free from the risks of truly going bankrupt.
The People Who Love To Gamble And Lose It All
These are the people who simply gamble it all on one big payday. They embrace risk and aren’t concerned about any of the consequences their actions may yield. The good thing about these people is that they are bold and are not afraid of the risk that their actions may have. Things can produce great rewards. Unfortunately, the consequences associated with their actions usually far outweigh the rewards.
The People Who Just Don’t Care
These people don’t care about money. They just view money as something that they need to live life comfortably. These people are more concerned about their lives and their experiences in their lives rather than money.
