Indiana Money Wise Quiz: Are you a

Spender or saver?

You probably already know your own spending personality, but do you know your spouse’s? This is a chat couples should have BEFORE walking down the aisle, but it’s never too late to examine your financial compatibility.

Here are some questions to help you get the conversation started:

1) How much debt do you have?

2) How much do you save each month?

3) What’s your investing philosophy?

4) What’s your risk tolerance level?

Set aside some time each month to talk about money. Put it in your schedules! It gives each person time to prepare and get in the right head space before the conversations take place.
