What kind of test is it?
Ten questions about how you spend tell you your 'spending type.' Results come as one of five types — the flashy Flexer, the frugal Saver, the moody Mood Buyer, the meticulous Planner, and the clever Value Hunter.
From payday spending to how you shop, stress spending, and how you react to sales, it points out spending tendencies you may not have noticed.
Why does knowing your spending habits matter?
The first step to saving money is knowing 'where and how you spend.' Know your spending style, and rather than cutting blindly, you can plug the leaks in a way that suits you.
For example, a Mood Buyer benefits from devices that curb impulse buys, while a Flexer benefits from setting a budget limit. The right prescription differs by type.
How should you use the result?
The result shows each type's traits along with one tip to refine your spending habits. Keep your type's strengths and cover its weaknesses with small habits.
There's no good or bad type. The goal is to understand your own spending style and find balance.
