A pal of mine just lately launched a quiz to find out which of the 5 cash timber you might be, and, so, in fact I needed to take it as a result of IT’S A QUIZ ABOUT MONEY!
Right here it’s if you happen to’re too excited to learn on –> thefivemoneytrees.com
I requested her the place this “tree” concept got here from and right here was her response:
*******
“I noticed that the majority budgeting recommendation focuses on numbers and programs, however individuals battle extra with their emotional relationship with cash. (TRUE!!) I stored seeing patterns of worry, avoidance, inconsistency, and lack of hope, and I noticed that these emotional patterns had been extra predictive than revenue or instruments.
I got here up with the “timber” as a result of I needed a easy, visible strategy to characterize these patterns as areas of progress reasonably than flaws. Every tree displays a distinct spectrum of how somebody pertains to cash. The purpose is to assist individuals acknowledge the place they’re with out judgment and see a path ahead.
Enjoyable truth: my preliminary idea really got here from online game ability timber!

I like it. People are so sophisticated – and emotional – so in fact it impacts our monetary selections. And identical to something, the extra you’re *conscious* of those private traits the higher you may be at determination making!
What are the 5 timber?
I don’t need to give away an excessive amount of cuz it’s extra enjoyable to take the quiz and see what you get, however you’ll mainly be matched with one in every of these 5 on the finish (and also you don’t meed to enter your e mail deal with or something to get your reply both – it’s completely free and chill!):
- Oak Tree – representing “self-discipline”
- Cherry Tree – representing “hope”
- Willow Tree – representing “adaptability”
- Apple Tree – representing “confidence”
- Maple Tree – representing “ambition”
It doesn’t inform you to start with what all of the timber are so I didn’t get an opportunity to guess first (however now you can!), however after seeing them I actually want I landed on the “ambition” one haha… No less than that’s how I envision it in my head 😂
But it surely knew me all too properly (I don’t chase cash anymore!) and I ended up getting Apple Tree – aka “confidence.” Which I’ll gladly settle for 🙂
“I’ve sufficient. I’m sufficient.”
Apple power is grounded safety.
You care about provision.
You consider what’s wanted.
It’s the calm that claims:
I can spend when it’s time.
I can save when it’s time.
I belief myself.
*** Wipes tears from eyes ***
I actually have come far over time… From chasing standing to not having a sport plan AT ALL, 25 12 months outdated J. Cash would NOT have been related to this tree, lol… He would have been a mere stump! Or maybe a child apple sapling, solely watered with beer as a substitute of water, hahahaha (he did have some enjoyable although along with his beer sapling buddies!)
The quiz then goes on to inform you extra about your match (the professionals, the cons), after which the way it pertains to the opposite timber in your life as properly – aka your “Monetary Forrest.” It’s kinda neat to click on round and take a look at the way it all interconnects with one another.

So what do you do as soon as you realize what tree you might be?!
******
The purpose is for individuals to begin making small, sensible modifications that align with their particular emotional sample. I don’t need it to cease at consciousness.
As a substitute of attempting to comply with generic budgeting recommendation, they’ll deal with the one space that may make the most important distinction for them. Over time, that builds confidence and consistency, reasonably than overwhelm. So it turns into much less about “doing budgeting completely” and extra about rising in a path that really suits them.
******
BOOM.
Lovely.
Consciousness is one factor, however if you happen to don’t do something about it what does it matter ultimately?! At all times a two step course of right here: 1) be taught, 2) put what you realized into motion. It hardly ever strikes the needle with just one half of the equation.
So yeah, take the quiz and see what you get! However first – guess 🙂
