It seems like there are 5 different personality types for everything these days... or maybe just love and money... this book was all about the five different money personality types. Written by a married couple, this book talks about how we all have a different type of relationship with money, and we all deal with it differently. The authors help us to understand our money personality, and learn how to work with our spouse and their own money personality.
I enjoyed the insight I gained from this book. It helped me to really understand not only why I might handle money the way I do, but also how to take control of spending. It was also helpful in understanding my husband's relationship with money. I grew up in a household that spent money, whereas he grew up in a household that saved money, leaving us on opposite ends of the spectrum. I feel like the authors of this book really hit home in helping us to bring our experiences together and work as a team on our finances.
I would recommend this book to new couples, old couples, couples who are engaged, and even singles who want to gain more knowledge of where they might be at in dealing with money. It was full of insight, and it was also understandable for someone like myself, who really has no background in accounting and is horrible at math.
