In reply to Zeenat Merchant Syal. I'm sure you'll get an awesomely high score, Zeenat. We learn from experience, especially when we see the interest rate charges on our credit cards!

This is such a great topic to touch upon Vatsala. And a needed one. Mpst of us have struggled with managing finances. Yes I wished I was wiser when I was younger…but well, we live and learn. I found myself nodding through all those introspective financial questions you have listed…haven’t checked my score yet though 😉

In reply to Suzie Cheel. You will definitely resonate with the guidance in the book, Suzie. We often get out of sync with our financial management but this too passes once we take action to get back on track.

In reply to Barbara Parcells. I learned to downsize when I faced redundancy in a recessionary economy and had a mortgage to service, Barb. I was always good at managing my money so I wasn't too worried about the loan repayments but downsizing helped me understand the difference between needs and wants. Even now, I first focus on my need and then treat myself to a want which funnily enough is usually splurging on books! You must try the book report tactic my parents used. It does work.

Since I downsized my living space and my work space, I’ve also been able to downsize my financial life as well. There’s a big difference between needs and wants. I try not to deprive myself but, rather, to find ways to bring joy into my life that doesn’t cost anything. P.s. I love the idea of your parents having you read and do a book report to earn money. I might just try it with my grandkids!

In reply to Denise. Welcome to The Karmic Ally Coaching Experience Blog, Denise. I'm glad you found the quiz helpful. At my blog, I try to keep things non-intimidating. :) The idea of creating pain for the reader and then jumping in with a Super Hero solution isn't my style. :)

In reply to Reba Linker. Welcome to The Karmic Ally Coaching Experience Blog, Reba. I do so agree with you about the internet drive. I would prefer being offered a product or service at a reasonable price point rather than one which makes me close the browser despite all those thousands worth of bonuses which I would never use. I read an article by a respected marketing professional sometime back advising people to stop doing it because the customer was getting wise to it. I'm happy you felt my blog was a safe place to vent a pet peeve. There are lots of other people who feel the same way.
