The eight Money Types, developed by Deborah Price (founder of the Money Coaching Institute), help us understand our unique money patterns and behaviours and motivations that influence us when it comes to our money. 

These powerful influences drive our actions however, are unconscious – meaning we aren’t aware of them or how they impact our financial results. 

Understanding these Money Types teaches us where we need to grow, in order to reach our real financial potential.  They shine light on the parts of ourselves that are hidden to us and may be helping or hindering our financial results. 

They are not who we are but where we are, in regards to our relationship with money. 

The best thing is that as they are not fixed and your results today are merely a snapshot in time from which you can shift and improve.

Which of the 8 money types below can you resonate with?
