Test Your Attitude Toward Spending
Test Question: You go out to eat with a friend, and the server brings a steaming, freshly cooked fish that makes your mouth water. You quickly pick up your chopsticks. Where do you start?
A:
B:
C:
D:
A: The head of the fish
Choosing this option suggests you're not a frivolous spender. You don't buy just anything; if nothing appeals to you, you hold onto your money. But when you truly love something, you'll buy it regardless of the price.
B: The back of the fish
Choosing this option indicates you're a typical paycheck-to-paycheck spender with a strong urge to shop. Whenever there's a big sale at the department store, you buy lots of things, whether you need them or not. You especially splurge on food and clothing; if you like something, you'll spend on it. As a result, you often burn through your entire paycheck and sometimes even go into debt.
C: The tail of the fish
Choosing this option indicates you're very frugal. You always look for the best value for your money. You don't replace clothes until they're worn out, and you avoid unnecessary spending. Beyond daily essentials, you save nearly all your extra cash. It's no exaggeration to say you're stingy—almost miserly.
D: Anywhere
Choosing this option indicates you don't have strong preferences and tend to go with the flow. You rely on your feelings to make decisions and sometimes end up busy without accomplishing much. The same goes for spending: because you lack a clear plan, you often let others manage your finances for you.
