You’re Primarily A Flyer
AS A FLYER, YOUR OUTLOOK ON LIFE CAN BE SUMMARIZED BY “KEEP IT SIMPLE.”
The Flyer is perhaps the most unusual of the personalities, in that the personality has very little to do with money. Flyers don’t think about money – at all. They’re not anxious about it; they’re not consumed by it. They have absolutely no emotional response to it.
AS A FLYER:
You are happy to step back and let someone else manage your money.
CHALLENGES FLYERS MAY COME ACROSS:
You are poor at planning and can be reactionary.
HOW FLYERS MAKE MONEY DECISIONS:
You focus on what is going to benefit the relationship. The expense doesn’t matter as long as it builds up the relationship.
HOW FLYERS MAKE LIFE DECISIONS:
You are largely content with what you have, so you aren’t swayed by the thrill of the spend, but rather what you get out of it.
FLYER OVERVIEW:
You are focused on relationships more than money. You make money and use it, but you don’t think about it much at the end of the day.
Flyer Tip: Try signing up for a budget management service, like Simplifi by Quicken. This will help you work to keep better track of your money, but with minimal effort involved!

Your Secondary Is spender
AS A SPENDER, YOUR OUTLOOK ON LIFE CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS “USE IT OR LOSE IT.” YOU MAKE THINGS HAPPEN BY SPENDING ON YOURSELF AND OTHERS, AND YOU ARE OFTEN GENEROUS.
Spenders are carefree with their money. They aren’t concerned about how much money they spend or on who they spend it on. They aren’t necessarily rich – we know spenders who can do some serious damage shopping at the dollar store. Spenders just like spending in general.
AS A SPENDER:
You are a person who gets a thrill from a purchase, whether it’s for themselves or others.
CHALLENGES SPENDERS MAY COME ACROSS:
You’re not worried about getting a good deal.
HOW SPENDERS MAKE MONEY DECISIONS:
Acting quickly on a purchase.
HOW SPENDERS MAKE LIFE DECISIONS:
Being carefree and loving to take care of others.
SPENDER OVERVIEW:
Ready to move quickly on a purchase.
Spender Tip: Next time you shop, try checking for coupons on an app or service like. They offer thousands of discounts across many stores. And, it’s completely free!

Your Combination
Being a Flyer/Spender allows you to be consistent in your money making decisions. One side of your brain is saying “Relationship, Relationship, Relationship”, and the other side of your brain is saying “Spend, Spend, Spend.” You are not alone. There are many people who have this same Money Personality combination.
Here is a scenario you may come up against:
You heard about a great concert that is coming to town. You invite a whole group of friends, you call them all and almost everyone. Your Flyer just can’t wait to hang out with this group – they are so much fun! You arrive at the concert and your Secondary Spender kicks in. There are t-shirts, sweatshirts, flags, bags, stickers, and more. You name it, you bought it! You even threw in a shirt for your friend too! There is no clash with your Money Personalities here. Your Flyer is satisfied with having a big group of friends around and your Spender is feeling great about all of your new loot.
Your Core Characteristics
STRENGTHS
FLYER SIDE:
Basically content with your life: A Flyer could be dirt poor and not be bothered. As long as a Flyer is making their own decisions, they’re happy.
Big on relationships: Relationships and connections are pretty much the largest area in their lives.
Happy to let others handle their finances: This can come in handy if your significant other has a different money personality.
Not motivated by money: Flying by the seat of their pants, Flyers live the life they want.
SPENDER SIDE:
Live in the moment: Focused on the now, and willing to spend to make life a blast!
Love to buy things for other people: Recieve joy from helping others and giving gifts.
Get a thrill from the purchase: The price doesn’t matter. It’s the pure fun of buying that drives the Spender.
WEAKNESSES
FLYER SIDE:
Reactionary: Due to not looking at/paying attention to their finances, when they finally do, they often make decisions based on fear.
Lacking the skills needed to solve money problems: When money problems occur, the Flyer wants to find a solution. However, the lack of knowledge is a hindrance.
Disorganized: Flyers aren’t always disorganized, but when it comes to money… they usually are.
SPENDER SIDE:
Impractical: Most impulsive buyers. No list = No limits. Research isn’t a priority: if it’s there and spenders want it, they’re getting it regardless.
Non-communicative: Since Spenders don’t think much on purchases, this leads to lack of communication through big purchases. Can come across as secretive/sneaky.
Filled with regret: Sometimes Spenders get carried away with the thrill they forget about the actual money aspect.
A budget breaker: There can be great intention behind creating a budget, but ultimately, they find it hard to stick to.
In A Relationship
Flyers can make great spouses because they’re fairly easygoing about money issues. They aren’t going to be controlling or uptight about finances. The challenge for Flyers is to stay involved and invested in the family financial picture.
A Spender can be a great partner because they’ll never let finances get in the way of truly living life to its fullest. The challenge for the Spender is to respect the money expectations of their spouse, particularly if they are a Saver.
