What does your temperament have to do with your bank account?

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda Teixeira is joined by author Rosemary McGuire Berry to explore the connection between the four temperaments and how we approach money. From saints to spending habits, this conversation dives into how our God-given wiring influences everything from budgeting styles to generosity—and even financial tension in marriage.

Rosemary shares insights from her book Piety and Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints and unpacks how each temperament—choleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic—handles money, relationships, and virtue differently. Whether you're a strong-willed strategist or a fun-loving spender, this episode will help you grow in financial wisdom rooted in who God made you to be.
