Wealth Wits

You like to see your money in action (especially transactions). Risky investments and debt don’t deter you. You make the most of now. You enjoy shopping for gifts and experiences. Some consider The Avid Consumer a big spender. You may pride yourself on it or secretly know you’ve got to cut back. Hosted by Faith Salie and featuring: Laura Adams, personal finance expert, host of Money Girl Podcast, and author of Money Girl’s Smart Moves to Grow Rich; Jeff Rose, Certified Financial Planner and blogger at GoodFinancialCents.com; and Emma Johnson, journalist, blogger at WealthySingleMommy.com, and host of Like a Mother podcast.

Your savings is a security blanket, and your exercises in frugality have left others astonished. At times, you’ve been known to neglect yourself (or your home or car etc.) in order to maintain an aggressive saving streak. The Vigilant Stockpiler may find joy in the certainty and safety, but you’re also not as likely to actually enjoy what you’ve saved. Hosted by Faith Salie and featuring: Laura Adams, personal finance expert, host of Money Girl Podcast, and author of Money Girl’s Smart Moves to Grow Rich; financial therapist Amanda Clayman; and financial psychologist Brad Klontz.

Money is not your number-one priority. But that doesn’t bother you. In some ways, it has even given you peace. Sometimes you’re apathetic, but most times you’re optimistic. As an Optimistic Avoider, you feel good about the future even if you’re not sure of how you’ll get there. Hosted by Faith Salie and featuring: Laura Adams, personal finance expert, host of Money Girl Podcast, and author of Money Girl’s Smart Moves to Grow Rich; financial therapist Amanda Clayman; and David Carlson, personal finance blogger at YoungAdultMoney.com and author of Hustle Away Debt.

You're proactive, tend to save for major purchases, and for the future. You’re not afraid of budgets. Your financial decisions are well researched. You’re not excessively frugal, but may not part with money easily. The Structured Saver makes it look easy, but you’re the only one who knows how hard you really work at it.
