Discover Your Money Personality Type

According to Ken, people who engage with money can be broadly separated into types, depending on their outlook, money-related behaviors, and often, their background, too.

Which of these types sounds most like you?

1. The Compulsive Saver. You love to save money, and believe it’s the best way to secure a good life for yourself. Many of your money habits are admirable — but sadly, many compulsive savers also live their whole lives without spending any of the money they’ve sacrificed so much to save.
2. The Compulsive Spender. Simply put: you love spending money. Interestingly, you were probably raised by a Compulsive Saver! You might not realize it, but you likely need to spend money to feel in control. It can give you a sense of power you might not feel in other areas of your life… and you might be spending in order to escape feelings of low self-esteem.
3. The Compulsive Moneymaker. You believe life works best when you’re earning as much money as possible. You rarely feel guilty about choosing to focus on work rather than friends or family. In fact, you likely believe everything you’re doing is to help your family. Unfortunately, there’s no amount of money that will actually satisfy your actual, hidden emotional issue — a deep, unmet longing for recognition and significance.
4. The Indifferent-to-Money type. You hardly notice money exists, and likely have chosen a low-earning profession. Many days can pass without you thinking about money — or spending anything at all. Perhaps you leave financial matters to your partner, or come from a well-off family and aren’t involved in the day-to-day money issues. It might be fine for now, but what happens when you DO need to know the details of your finances?
5. The Hippie. You think money is a bad thing, and view it as a source of problems. You place a high value on not becoming a sellout — is this mindset holding you back?
6. The Saver-Splurger. A combination of The Compulsive Saver and The Compulsive Spender, you’re usually regimented and serious about money. You try to control your life by saving money — then splurge on unwise purchases that only bring you problems.
7. The Gambler. A combination of Compulsive Spender and Compulsive Moneymaker, you love taking risks and feel fired up by venture capital, commodity trading, and the like. You happily take big risks with your money — and often feel devastated when things don’t work out as you planned.
8. The Worrier. Regardless of how much money you have, you worry. What if it all goes away? You might also worry about life in general, and expect the worst to happen.

Ken will help you determine your money type, then transform your mindset and and rebuild your relationship with money..
