Which “money personality” are you? | Your Brain on Money

To be good with money, you have to know yourself.

Financial advice needs to be personalized. There is no "one size fits all" approach to financial management.

In fact, just as we all have different personalities, we also have unique "money personalities."

There are four different money personalities: avoidance, worship, status, and vigilance. There are elements of truth and dysfunction in each.

I’m going to start a financial YouTube channel. It’s needed. I see Caleb’s channel growing so fast, more types of channels like that are needed. The people of this country need that.

This is a strange one for me. I love money for the possibilities it brings but also see it as a need. After going abroad for a year I and having big trouble in getting a job I realized the need of money since I could only afford some fruit or a vegetable, lost about 15 kg. So I guess I put it on a pedestal but with the mindset to grow and give to people who need it. Growing money has been a fun yourney, so far I like to invest in education by trying business ideas and learning from being able to fail. The concepts haven't always made money but the opportunity it brings is what I love about it and then knowing that food will be on the table is a big bonus.

Don't let money be the goal. Let it be a means towards achieving the goal.

I have one question.... Is direct selling business and network marketing good for making money? Is advance matric system is good option for making a network?

It still surprises me that they put subtitles to one the of the neuroscientist when he spoke perfectly

It would have been great to include a link to a quiz so people can see which money personality they are

If you found your way here because you're trying to learn about personal financial management, forget everything you heard in this video. It's awful. Your personality as it relates to finance is simply an indicator of what you need to manage/monitor in order to accumulate wealth. That is all. The rest is numbers, and numbers don't care about your personality.

Well, I'm neurodivergent so I don't quite understand what the fuck am I doing here in the first place.

Wait so you are telling me that people don’t filter for the advice that can benefit them individually and that they need the advice they receive curated for them?!

[flourishthedev_logs]

I think i fall into all the types of money personalities, i'm i confused?

[rambr]

Is there a way to learn how you developed these segmentations? what kind of data do you rely on that made you categorize them this way?

[JimElford]

Everyone at some point needs to own a home unless theyre so rich they can afford spiralling rents in their retirement or theyre so poor the state offers free housing.

[etb]

Not everyone needs a home..? You sure about that part tho lmao i can understand not having kids
But like you can’t sleep under a bridge forever lol

Your financial planners do not work for you they work for the bank they are hired by. Their advice for you will be biased towards what is good for tehir employer, the bank.

[AMOproductions]

What's with the narration and introductions guys? Your videos were better without it.

[Serpolinidate]

Don't want to insult anyone, but all of this sounds extremely bull****
