Understanding Your Financial Temperament

What This Guide Does

Most financial struggles are not money problems. They are wiring problems.

This guide shows you why you earn, spend, save, and give the way you do, and why willpower has never been enough to change it. You'll see your own pattern named clearly, what it needs, and where it tends to trip you up.

It is a companion to the Arno Profile System, a temperament framework developed by Dr. Richard Arno and Dr. Phyllis Arno through the National Christian Counselors Association, and applied here to financial behavior.
