So what does
that even mean? That means the two
people who live in my house and deal with money have polar opposite views on
how to deal with money. Now, I want you
to know that it hasn’t caused too much friction or much in the way of fighting
in my home, thankfully. But I do know
that it can be frustrating to deal with and is down-right miserable for some
folks.
I received
this book at the perfect time. I ordered
it before I knew that I would be taking a budgeting class at church. I thought this would all be redundant. But the Palmers state clearly in the
beginning of the book that this is not about finance, budgeting, saving for
retirement, or anything else. This is
strictly to understand your own and your spouse’s money personalities: the how
and why of what you do with money.
I did the personality
test and was not surprised by the results.
I was pretty sure of what my husband’s results would be also, but I was a good girl and had him take the
test himself. I think when you go over
the quick explanation of each personality you will have a good feel for what
fits you best. If that is all you do
then you have missed the point of the book.
The best part is when you understand why you are the way you are and why
your spouse is the way he is. When
mutual understanding happens then there is peace and harmony—and that’s a
beautiful thing.
I am glad I
got this book before beginning the budgeting class. It has helped me to see financial issues from
my husband’s perspective and not just my own.
I would recommend The 5 Money
Personalities to anyone trying to get their finances in order. It’s going to make your chances of success so
much better than without it!
