MONEY AND YOU

Money and you:

You are, in a word, wise where money is concerned. You are self-made, although a surprising number of you inherit wealth. It's easy to see that you desperately crave for money. Money buys you security, freedom, and, best of all, control. An unshakable conviction that you will come out on top where finances are concerned motivates you to work harder, no matter how long or how tough. You are more than willing to make sacrifices for the grand prize. If there are reversals, you will generally suffer them well, thanks to your quiet confidence. When the going is good, though, you will remember your friends with uncommon generosity and are quick to support favourite charities. In the end, you far prefer to accumulate money rather than spend it. And you hate wasting it! Even so, there are times when nothing less than a Ming vase will do. Go figure!

Stretch the buck:

You will not shout out your financial status from the rooftops. You are quiet about your financial dealings. When the chips are down, however, your inner strength makes you the Rock of Gibraltar. People shy away from you in a business deal, because they consider your mystique dangerous.

You are essentially comfortable around money, because you are largely self-made. You also love the crinkle of money, since a healthy bank balance is a symbol of security. You are also obsessed with the idea of control, and the answer lies in the money.

You have an iron will, and are willing to stay in the race, no matter how high the stakes. If there are reversals, you will generally handle them well, with your quiet confidence. You also loosen your purse strings easily when a friend is in need of money.

Your temperament is well suited to astute management. You bank balance will never wear thin, thanks to your eye on the budget. Control over domestic finances can lead to tension in your relationship, making this a fight you may not want to pick.

In the end, you far prefer to accumulate money rather than spend it. And you hate wasting it! Even so, there are times when nothing less than the best will do.
