Money Birds: Decoded

Now that you’ve taken our quiz to find out what kind of Money Bird you are (yes, that’s a thing), let’s dive in and look at how you can maximize this knowledge about yourself.

 

The Free-Spirited Finch – Like a Finch, you’re constantly on the go, always looking for something fun to do or your next favorite meal. Unlike Finch, your tastes might be a little more frivolous than a bird seed diet.

There’s nothing wrong with that, and your flexibility can be one of your strengths. However, if an emergency came along, would you have the funds to cover it?

If you still need some tips on how to get started on your savings journey, we’ve got you covered too.

Check out this blog.

The Balanced Bluebird – Bluebirds are signs of good luck and prosperity, and as such, you’ve started practicing some healthy habits when it comes to your money. You know the value of saving, and you have started to build a nest egg.

However, you need to be aware of those indulgences you allow yourself. Pretty soon, they can add up, and that will mess up the savings you’ve accumulated.

There can be a fine line between savings and overspending. In fact, we have a blog about the topic that should help you find a balance between the two.

Check it out here.

The Wise Owl – It says it in the name, you’re wise. You’ve got a plan and you’re sticking to it. Chances are, you know how much money you have in your account, and you know what deposits and withdrawals you have coming up. Nothing is going to catch you off guard.

Your blind spot? You could be looking so far into the future that you aren’t enjoying today. Yes, you’re saving your money, but for what purpose? Is there something you’re saving for?

So, keep up the good work, but don’t forget to let yourself have some fun from time to time.

Fine tune your money knowledge with this blog.
