Quiz: What Kind of Financial Animal Are You? #MC (sponsored)

by

I participated in an Influencer Program on behalf of Mom Central for TCF Bank. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating.

TCF Bank Financial Animal Quiz

April is Financial Literacy Month. In honor of the occasion, TCF Bank, a Minnesota-based national bank, has created a fun quiz that lets everyone to think about their financial habits and find out their “financial animal.” I was curious. I didn’t know what sort of financial animal I would turn out to be.

Historically, I’m not a very good money manager. I don’t like to think about finances. That’s pretty sad considering my dad is an accountant. His love of numbers and balancing books did not get passed on to me. But I do like to take quizzes, so off I went to TCF Bank to find out my financial animal fate! Six easy (and a bit silly) quiz questions later…it turns out, I am am….

Coyote! I’m a crafty scavenger, always on the hunt for a bargain. My ideal day is spent digging in the couch cushions for spare change, clipping coupons and scouring the web for promo codes. It can be a lot of work, but it’s totally worth it for the sense of accomplishment I feel after scoring a killer deal.

Although my ideal day is not spent digging in the couch cushions for spare change and clipping coupons, I do like to score killer deals and will spend a lot of time hunting for them.

Now that I know I’m a naturally wily coyote when it comes to finances, I can better use the TCF Bank’s Learning Center. They offer practical money management advice to adults. The Learning Center simplifies difficult financial concepts with video, animations, gaming and social networking. This impartial, non-commercial resource can be a helpful tool for anyone who wants to learn how to manage their financial future.

I want to know more about how I can use my personal savings account to help me put away money for the future. The TCF Bank’s Learning Center can help me with financial planning.

    I am a coyote. I think it probably is the best representation of my current financial state because of how the coyote is described. Technically, though, I’m probably a more flexible coyote in real life as the quiz had a lot of answers that I had a hard time choosing between because there wasn’t one answer that really applied to my life, so I ended up choosing the most relatable answer. I think I’d definitely like to boost my financial IQ in the future.

      Hmmmm. I believe those are called “shape shifters” or something like that, according to my Sookie Stackhouse novels. LOL

    I have no idea what kind of financial animal I am. But I will find out this evening. I’ll take the quiz. I really need to have a better plan concerning my money. If not for your post, I would not have heard of this.

    The problem with a quiz like this is people answer what they think the correct answer is, and not how they actually are. Then they feel vindicated by their financial decisions when they really should be changing the way they spend.

      I can’t speak for other people but when I took the quiz, I was completely honest when I chose my answers. Actually some of the questions and answers were a bit silly – so it’s not like I had anything to be ashamed of. I feel like I got pretty accurate results, too. I wish I knew what some of the other “financial animals” were though so I could compare notes.
