Results

If your score totals:

10-15:
From an early age you learned how to handle money and how to make it work for you. You know making money is up to you. You probably already have quite a lot of money and you are going to have even more. Sometimes however, you tend to be too cheap. Try to be more generous with others and yourself. You can certainly afford it!

16-30: You are doing OK money wise, but here and there, you still have doubts about your ability to reach prosperity. Keep working on your self-esteem and do not let your doubts stop you on your way to abundance.

31-40: Boy, are you a mess! True, you were very badly educated when it comes to money but up until now, you never bothered to stop to reevaluate your values and beliefs. Meanwhile you are spending your money and that of others carelessly, and are sinking fast. If you don't stop this roller-coaster, you are heading straight towards disaster!
