How does your personality and family background shape your relationship with money and spending habits. Was your family often struggling financially or were you often the recipient of enormous generosity? These experiences can shape a person’s money mindset. Are you a saver/splurger? A compulsive saver or a worrier? A gambler or a compulsive spender? A compulsive money earner are are you indifferent to money? Find out how to manage these tendencies by understanding yourself (personality and beliefs about money) and how this shapes your financial tendencies. She also talks about important steps for making financial decisions that are more in alignment with
your money goals or achieve financial wellness.
