1. You’re in town and spot the perfect coat but you only have half the cash to pay for it. What should you do?

a) You should phone your parents and scream until they agree to come and buy it.

b) You should borrow some cash off your friend and pay it back.

c) You should resolve to save up.

The results: So are you a penny pincher or a super plurger? Here’s what we say:

Mostly As
You like to spend, spend, spend and don’t care who knows it or whose money you’re using. Spending a wad of cash can be a great feeling but once the buzz has gone, you’re left penniless. You should hold back a bit with your finances so that you don’t miss out on some of the spending opportunities that might come your way.

Mostly Bs
It sounds like you’ve got the balance right between spending and saving. You’re responsible for your own outgoings and pretty much in control of your finances, you should ask when you need a little help.

Mostly Cs
You’re quite the penny pincher! If there’s a bargain to be had or a saving to be made, you’re on it straight away. You should save money and you shouldn’t spend the lot in ten minutes.
