The Spender and the Security Seeker - Money Personalities

Both of these money personalities are motivated by money, but for very different reasons. For the Spender money is a tool for living life to the fullest. So they want to have enough money to do everything they want to do. The Security Seeker, however, is focused on that security, that certainty that everything will be okay. And that’s where the tension comes from. The Spender doesn’t just spend money, he spends little bits of the Security Seekers safety net. And that creates tremendous anxiety in the Security Seeker.

So the Security Seeker looks for ways to control the spending, to get rid of that anxiety. She might try to give the Spender an allowance—which the Spender is bound to both resent and blow through—or hide some money in a secret account so she knows she’s got something the Spender can’t touch. Ironically, the Spender may very well have the exact same response, hiding money to make sure he has some source of cash the Security Seeker won’t try to claim. Regardless of why it’s done, this kind of hiding is basic financial infidelity.
