Lexus Group Consultancy in Tokyo, Japan: Want to retire wealthy? Start with your 'money personality'

For those seeking ways to build wealth (or just to get rich quick), there’s no shortage of advice out there. Personal finance sites abound online, and self-styled radio talk show experts dispense wisdom with varying degrees of accuracy. But one study found that your fundamental attitudes about money can be a predictor of your ability to accumulate wealth. The study, published in the Journal of Financial Planning, looked at the correlation between certain behaviors and four “money scripts” — or, put another way, four money personalities. And, spoiler alert: Only one of the four money scripts is particularly conducive to getting wealthy. But Tom Murphy, a certified financial planner and CEO of Murphy and Sylvest, said the good news is, like anything, once you recognize that you look at money a certain way, you can take steps to change.
