Every spending style has its own unique strengths, says financial expert Jordan Goodman, author of Master Your Money Type. So you don't need to change the essence of who you are in order to become a good money manager. Instead, build on your strengths and avoid pitfalls by developing your understanding of yourself and your spending personality.

Start by taking our quiz. It's designed to be fun, but you'll get some helpful tips, too!

1. Your child's bedroom can best be described as:
	A. Brimming with toys, books, and clothes. It's pretty packed, but I love buying things for my child.
	B. Clean and well-organized. It's a place for my child to sleep, store things, and enjoy a few toys or books.
	C. A real mix. There are some treasures — and some junk.
	D. Kind of empty. We haven't bought much furniture, but there's plenty of room for dancing and art projects.
	E. Well-suited to my child. It has toys, books, durable furniture, and some open space for playing and relaxing.

2. As you unfold a diaper, out flutters a sheet of paper saying, "Congratulations! You've won our $10,000 prize giveaway!" How will you spend it?
	A. We'll go on some wild adventures that the kids will always remember, like riding in a hot air balloon. I'll use any leftover money for furniture, clothes, toys, and other fun stuff.
	B. I'll put it right into my nest egg.
	C. I'll pay off all the debt I can, starting with my credit cards, and try to resist spending any of it on myself.
	D. I'll put it in my checking account and use it for living expenses.
	E. I'll put half into an investment fund. We'll do something special (like a trip or a major purchase) with the other half.

3. How often do you splurge on yourself?
	A. Pretty often. I don't want to be a self-denying martyr mom. But I get stuff for my family, too!
	B. I'm not sure—do tampons, toilet paper, and toothpaste count?
	C. I try not to. But sometimes I see something I just can't resist — even if I can't really afford it.
	D. Not very often. But when I do buy something for myself, I shop quickly and get the first one I like.
	E. Occasional, reasonable splurging is a good thing. I'm just careful not to go overboard.

4. Do you ever hide your spending from your spouse or partner?
	A. Sometimes, but I'm not always good at it — and we've argued about how much I spend.
	B. No, in fact I'm proud to show off how little I usually spend.
	C. Yes, and I feel really guilty about it.
	D. Not on purpose — but sometimes I forget to mention big purchases.
	E. No, we're up front with each other about our spending.

5. How do you feel about credit cards?
	A. I love them — in fact, I can get a high from charging things. But I try to pay at least the minimum every month.
	B. I don't like to charge things — it stresses me out. But I have a few cards for emergencies and travel.
	C. I try not to use them, but occasionally I use a card for impulse buying.
	D. Cards are easier than always having cash on hand. I'm not great at paying attention to the interest rates, though, and sometimes I forget to keep up with the bills.
	E. They can be a useful tool. I use cards when it makes sense to, and I usually pay off the balance every month.

6. It's Moms' Night Out! You and your friends have a great time drinking margaritas and trading stories about tantrums, head lice, and interrupted sleep. Then the bill arrives. What do you do?
	A. Plunk down my card and say, "It's on me!" I figure I probably owe them all favors anyway.
	B. Pull out my calculator, figure out my portion, add tip and tax, and put the exact amount on the table.
	C. Last time I just threw in a $20, knowing it was more than I owed. So this time I pay a dollar or two less than my share.
	D. I offer to put it all on my card and have the others pay me back in cash. I let them figure it all out.
	E. I approximate my share, overestimating a bit so we don't come up short.

7. Where do you buy toys, clothes, and gear for your kids?
	A. Only the best for my babes! I'm a sucker for top-end stores and brands, but I also get great deals online.
	B. Kid stuff is overpriced. I'd rather buy things used or get hand-me-downs. When I have to buy something new, I spend a lot of time comparing costs so I can get the best deal.
	C. It depends — sometimes I spend way too much at the mall, so I try to balance it out by hitting yard sales.
	D. The kids' needs sneak up on me. Who knew feet could grow so fast? I usually buy stuff in a crunch, just popping by the nearest store when we have a moment.
	E. I buy some things full-price, but also shop online and look for used stuff and hand-me-downs. I do some cost-comparing for larger purchases and try and plan ahead so I can take advantage of sales and deals.

8. How balanced is your checkbook?
	A. I try to balance it regularly, but sometimes I pay with my debit card and forget to write it down. So my checkbook numbers don't always add up.
	B. I balance my checkbook to the penny, and I often check it against my bank account's online service to make sure it's accurate.
	C. I try to catch up whenever I can get to it. Unfortunately, there are some gaps.
	D. Oh, that checkbook. It's in a drawer somewhere ...
	E. I keep track of checks and debit card purchases. It's not accurate to the penny, but it's good enough. I check it against my monthly bank statement.

9. Your child is turning 3 — tell us about the birthday party!
	A. I invite everyone, rent a moonbounce, and get lots of great food. We have a fantastic time, but later I realize I spent a ton of money on a party my child probably won't remember.
	B. I create a strict party budget and refuse to go over, even though it means I can't include my nephew. The party is fun, manageable, and inexpensive, but later I realize my sister is no longer speaking to me.
	C. My child really wants a moonbounce, but I economize with a cheap, just-as-fun game of Twister instead. To cushion the blow, I order a custom flamingo-shaped cake. Everyone has fun, but later I realize that I didn't really come out that far ahead.
	D. I plan a dance party and tell our friends about it. The day of the party, I run to the closest store for supplies. I overbuy because I'm not sure how many are coming. Everyone has a blast, but later I realize I have 50 expensive favors left over and no one had anything to drink.
	E. I create invites with an early RSVP date, so if anyone declines, we can ask people from the "B" list. I rent a moonbounce but explain to my child that this means the cake, food, and party favors will be homemade. The party is a success, and my child enjoys helping with the preparations.

10. Your child has to sell calendars to help fund an overnight class trip. How do you react?
	A. I buy most of them. I always need calendars, and plus, I can give them out as gifts. I also buy a few from his friends. Why not? It's for a good cause.
	B. I help him come up with a budget, and we figure out exactly how many calendars he needs to sell in order to go on the trip.
	C. I encourage him to sell as many as he can, but I have a sinking feeling that I'll end up buying a lot of them right before the deadline.
	D. I buy one from him just to be nice, but I leave everything else up to him. I figure it's his situation to deal with.
	E. I buy one calendar. Then he and I sit down together and I help him develop his own plan for selling more.

11. Your friend's toddler is wearing the cutest little boots — deep purple suede with red tassels. What do you do?
	A. My toddler already has those boots in green. But now that I see that gorgeous purple, I may need to buy those too.
	B. I resist the urge. Those boots must cost a fortune, and they'll be outgrown in a month!
	C. I immediately ask where she bought them, so I can get some too.
	D. I think my child would enjoy a pair, but I doubt I'll have time to find them. They're probably only available at boutiques or something.
	E. If there's room in our budget, maybe we'll take the plunge.

12. What gives you the biggest rush?
	A. Bidding on an incredibly expensive Swedish highchair that I find on eBay for half the normal price.
	B. Looking at my grocery receipt and realizing I've saved $40 by using coupons.
	C. Treating myself to a shopping spree and not even thinking about prices — after all, I've stuck to my budget faithfully for months.
	D. Making presents with my kids for everyone on our holiday list. We have a blast, and totally avoid the shopping frenzy at the mall.
	E. Checking my savings account and realizing that we've saved enough for our trip to Hawaii.

You're done! Now, look back over your answers and see what you checked — mostly A, B, C, D, or E?

Mostly A

Your Spending Personality: Curious George Spontaneous, generous, and fun-loving, you live life to the fullest. You enjoy new adventures, and you aren't afraid of change.

Strengths: You don't let money worries hold you back from living your life. You're great at recognizing quality products and spotting bargains.

Weaknesses: You can be a spendthrift, especially when something compelling grabs your eye. You might use shopping as an escape from stress. You may also mistake material things for symbols of success. As a result, you probably have more stuff — and more debt — than you really need.

Strategies: "Develop better control of your impulses," says Goodman. To make this easier, avoid situations where you may be tempted to overspend. For example, don't go toy shopping with your "gotta have it now" 3-year-old in tow.

If you're using shopping as a hobby or escape, take a tip from George, who once was so busy filming a movie about himself that he didn't get into trouble all day. In other words, get involved in an activity other than shopping — something fulfilling, but not quite as expensive.

This isn't to say that you shouldn't give in to your fun side sometimes. Since you love to shop, you're probably great at spotting deals. Make this work for you. First, develop a monthly budget and track your expenses (which is important for people of all spending types, says Goodman). Then you can start to set aside money each month for splurges, "bling purchases," and deals that are too good to pass up. That way, you can still be yourself without breaking the bank.

Mostly B

Your Spending Personality: Bert Like our lovable Sesame Street friend, you're responsible, diligent, orderly, and detail-oriented. You thrive on structure and routine. You're careful with decisions, and you like to think things through.

Strengths: You certainly don't need to worry about overspending! You're great at sticking to a budget, and you're an excellent saver. Also, you're unlikely to fall for financial fads or get taken in by unscrupulous advertisers.

Weaknesses: You can be frugal to a fault, jeopardizing your and your family's quality of life. Your aversion to change can make you less efficient when financial situations call for more flexibility. And like Bert with his paperclip collection, you may be over-invested in the "game" of saving money, treating it as an obsessive hobby.

Strategies: "Try to loosen up a little," suggests Goodman. Bring a more relaxed attitude to finances, knowing that your excellent money managing techniques will help you keep things in check. Examining your feelings can help. Is your reluctance to spend money based on an irrational fear of loss? If so, try some reality testing. Ask yourself whether splurging on a dinner date once in a while is truly going to set you up for bankruptcy. With your saving finesse, it's doubtful!

Scrutinize your monthly budget to pinpoint areas where you may be holding back too much on your spending. Some things — like fun family outings or an occasional splurge — can outweigh the importance of nurturing your nest egg. Try tweaking your budget to give yourself more spending room where you need it.

Bert, Ernie, and Grover take a museum tour to see a moon rock up close. Unfortunately, the moon rock is the last exhibit. Will Bert's single-minded focus prevent him from enjoying the other exhibits, or will he relax enough to take in the whole experience?

Mostly C

Your Spending Personality: The Very Hungry Caterpillar Thoughtful, flexible, and open to new ideas, you have the ability to adapt to new situations and roll with the punches.

Strengths: You're good at pinching pennies in a crisis. But you also know how to use money to improve your family's quality of life — and your own.

Weaknesses: When the Caterpillar bursts out of his egg, he's ravenous. Who can blame him for eating everything in sight? But then he goes the other way, and eats only a single leaf! Like him, you tend to vacillate between extremes. Your spending can be inconsistent and erratic, and is sometimes based too heavily on emotion.

Strategies: Goodman recommends that you consider the emotional component of your spending decisions. Are you buying something out of a sense of deprivation or as a temporary fix? Are you spending money on your child out of guilt, or to compensate for a deficiency in your own childhood? If so, it's time to reconsider the purchase.

Because you're susceptible to impulse buying, "avoid situations that could overwhelm your financial sensibilities," says Goodman. For example, as hard as it is, stay away from the mall during the height of the holiday season — the visual stimuli, music, crowds, and scents may send you into a spending frenzy.

Like people of all spending types, you'll benefit from developing a monthly budget and tracking expenses, says Goodman. Spend some time reviewing your assets and what you owe, to get a better sense of where you stand financially. Then come up with a spending plan so you'll have some guidelines to keep you in check.

Mostly D

Your Spending Personality: The Grasshopper Creative and idea-focused, you're an imaginative, visionary thinker. You maintain a relaxed perspective on life and have a strong sense of fun.

Strengths: You don't sweat the small stuff and are able to avoid getting tied up in knots over finances. You're also good at resisting peer pressure and the impulse to "keep up with the Joneses." It's unlikely that you have the "too much stuff" problem.

Weaknesses: You tend to procrastinate. Like the fabled grasshopper who doesn't store food for the upcoming winter, you dislike planning ahead and may even feel like you're not very good at it. This causes your spending to be rushed and careless.

Strategies: Goodman suggests that you try planning ahead more, even if only by a few days. This may seem counterintuitive, but thinking about things even slightly in advance can make life less stressful in the long run. Because of the convenience and speed, online shopping may be a great option for you. Find some good websites that you trust and can use for various needs.

All types can benefit from developing a monthly budget and tracking expenses, says Goodman. Don't be afraid to try it. You can do it, and since you aren't very materialistic, your expenses may be simpler than most.

While the ant falls into a frenzy of preparation for winter, the grasshopper continues making music. Come winter, he appeals to his old friend for help. They have a vigorous debate. Which is more important — art or survival? Perhaps the two are actually interdependent, but that's for the reader to decide.

Mostly E

Your Spending Personality: Dora You're organized, responsible, levelheaded, realistic, and resourceful. You're open to trying new things, but you plan ahead and use a safety net to avoid getting hurt.

Strengths: You've hit the jackpot: You're an excellent saver and a wise, conscientious spender.

Weaknesses: Everyone has something to work on! You're a pretty stellar money manager, but according to Goodman, this can lead to a bit of complacency. Perhaps things are working so well for you that you've gotten stuck in a bit of a rut.

Strategies: Your financial house is in order, so now might be a good time to think about an expansion. How can you challenge your investments and make them work even better for you? Consulting a financial planner would be a great next step.
