PETS
Your personality has four components that characterize your pet preferences with money. Remember them with the acronym PETS. It’s especially important to be mindful of your emotions and thoughts relative to money.
Physical
How do you physically handle your money? The physical component includes your organizational record keeping preferences as well as cash vs credit cards vs electronic aspects.
Emotional
We all have emotional tendencies with money. Do you feel confident and optimistic or are you more anxious and insecure? Does handling money matters feel delightful or frightful?
Thoughts
How you think about your finances steers your direction. We all have both conscious and unconscious thought habits. It’s important to gain clarity so your thoughts align with decisions.
Social
This reflects how you behave socially with your money. Do you act differently with your money when you’re with people than when you’re alone? It’s liberating to bring them into alignment.
