What’s your Money Mind®?

Is there a particular money paradigm that drives your financial decision making? If so, what is it and where does it come from? When your thoughts are consumed by this dominant Money Mind®, how does it ultimately shape the decisions that you make?

Take this brief quiz for a little insight.

According to the source of the Money Mind® quiz, while each of us has traits of all three money minds (The Protector, The Giver and The Pleasure Seeker) one of the traits routinely dominates. This makes a lot of sense. We seem to shift back-n-forth (between money minds) depending on the circumstances, but most of us default to a particularly dominant money paradigm. However, as you read at the end of your quiz, it’s not beyond your control. With awareness and lots of clarity (e.g. life goals projections), you can cultivate your less dominant money mind(s) and live a more balanced financial life.
