My days go something like this: Wake up at 8 am (yes, that late), get ready, get to work by 9 am (yes, I live that close to work), work like a dog from 9 am until 6 pm non-stop, sometimes skipping lunch to hit the weekly KPIs, get home exhausted, throw some food together, eat while reading articles, then open up a new document, outline an article, write, check the time, go to bed at 12 am.

5 Financial Personality Types That Affect Your Money Habits
Sometime last month, I conducted a small personal finance workshop. One of the things we discussed is how our personality types can affect how we handle money.

I’m a firm believer that in order for us to be better at managing money, we must first understand what makes us tick.
