altManaging money is a learned skill and different individuals possess differing levels or skill, to say nothing of education, experience, and interest.

Following are examples of hypothetical comments about money and finances that might be made by individuals based on their brain’s innate energy advantage.

 

altPrioritizing Division

altEnvisioning Division

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division might be heard to make comments such as:

  • I know how to make money work for me
  • I like to see my bank account growing, especially based on sound investments I’ve made
  • I do a cost-benefit analysis before I make purchases because I want the very best value for my money
  • When I invest, safety is a priority as I work to achieve the highest return on investment (ROI)

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division might be heard to make comments such as:

  • I have a general sense of the state of my finances
  • Fortunately, things seem to turn out all right much of the time. When I do make an unwise investment, however, it’s usually a humdinger!
  • Balancing my checkbook personally is definitely not a priority and I do much better to hire that task out
  • When I invest I like to get it on the action early and I’ve been known to put money on rather high-risk options based on my intuition (which sometimes panned out and sometimes did not)

 

altMaintaining Division

altHarmonizing Division

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division might be heard to make comments such as:

  • I have a conservative budget and stick to it meticulously
  • I know where my money goes
  • I balance my checkbook each month to the penny and work at it until it does
  • Invest? Only in something that is very secure like insurance or savings bonds

 

Individuals with an energy advantage in this division might be heard to make comments such as:

  • I need money as a medium of exchange for gifts for family and friends
  • I often run out of money before the end of the month or before my next pay check
  • People are far more important than money and things
  • Invest? I prefer to invest in friendships and relationships
