It took me a long time (and a lot of being broke/poor) to get over it! Now that I'm not totally broke, I feel like my money management is super easy (by comparison). I don't think it works without the actual experience of scarcity, at least for me.
Very interesting way to view types of spenders. I wasn’t sure how to answer Q1 because 1 and 11 both say “I have difficulty spending money”. Based on the results scale, it seems 11 should read “I have difficulty saving money”. I really enjoyed the article. Thanks for writing it.
Unconflicted and I’m very happy about that.
I am 100% a frugal person, or at least I think I am. I've certainly been a tightwad in the past.
It can be a fine line. Something to be aware of when your spending money, if you really hate to do it even on things you really value.

Yeah having a strong reference point to compare how it was without money puts things in perspective..

Hmm might be a typo! Thanks, I'll look into that. Glad you enjoyed it.
I have never seen this framework before, and it was a great way to look at spending types! Thank you!
Hi Jenny, Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for reading!
