Discover Your Money Type

Money types explain your current money behaviours and patterns; what kind of relationship you have with money at the moment, how you feel about money, and how you handle money. Money types do not reflect your personality. They do not label you for example as a “victim” or a “fool,” but rather explain the money types that are active in your life right now. The money types tend to change throughout our lives, but there are always a few that remain active. It is necessary to learn how to transform these active money types into more ideal ones if they are harmful or not supporting your current financial goals and dreams.

The most ideal archetypes are:
