Is there anything in the book about or for underearners and/or other low earners?

I’d say I’m equal parts Guardian / Saver (these seem similar to me) and Caretaker. Maybe also a touch of The Star, but I’m working on ridding myself of that. It’d be interesting to take the quiz and have my wife take the quiz & compare results. I think we’d probably be quite similar.

I like the concept that ideally we should be a little of all archetypes. Balance in everything.

This book looks pretty interesting. I tend to be the Guardian, Pleasure Seeker, and Saver. I’ll have to get the book!

Sounds like an interesting premise. Have read personality type books and think it would be interesting to see the financial equivalent and how they intertwine.

I can’t decide which one I am. Maybe if I had the book… From the review I’d say I’m a mix of a Guardian and Idealist.

Thank you for (making me laugh by) admitting that you have a problem with the Idealists, Stars and Innocents. Me too. I wonder what the book says about marriage/relationships among the archetypes.

Seems like I’m a saver/guardian.
