How do your values influence your spending?

March 2nd, 2011

A lot of different things can influence how you spend your money – your account balance, your blood sugar level, the weather. But one of the most important and overlooked factors is your personal set of values. That’s right. Values.

Take this quick quiz and see how you stack up against others (who may have similar values to yours) when it comes to how you spend your money.

Now look at your last bank or credit card statement. What portion of your money goes to experiences? How about material objects? What kind of experiences and objects do you tend to spend the most money on?

(btw, YourMorals.org isn’t a religious website – it’s a collection of surveys put together by seven social psychologists to explore how morality and political values interact. Once you register, you can take and save your results for any number of surveys.)
