How individuals handle financial issues is often the number one reason for the success or failure of a Romantic Relationship. On a daily basis, the requirements of food, housing, and clothing can be disruptive. On, before, or after a life cycle event, such as a wedding or death of a family member, the purchase of a home or automobile, or paying for a college education, financial stresses can be catastrophic.

Blue Brainers do not give a second thought to their finances. People, not pennies, are more important to them. They will hire or ask a Green Brainer to help them with their finances. They do not think about how much they are spending, just how much they enjoy buying something for a friend or loved one.

Green Brainers enjoy spreadsheets and accounting for all their expenditures. They become frustrated with the Blue Brainers when they have to explain their accounting practices, what a budget is, and why they need one.

Orange Brainers are spenders, not savers, and their attitude drives Yellow Brainers crazy. The Yellow Brainers often irritate the Orange Brainers because they want to limit their spending and teach them how to be financially responsible.

Green Brainers and Yellow Brainers appreciate each other’s financial attitude toward budgeting and saving money. Blue Brainers and Orange Brainers understand each other’s financial attitude toward enjoying and spending their money.
