Finally, the Ostrich — someone who would rather bury their head in the sand than organise their finances. It could be because money scares them, they have had no role model or they don’t have time to sort things, so they don’t bother trying. They are often paralysed by indecision. Anxiety drives their behaviour. Ostriches usually know they are in denial but it is not until the anxiety or frustration of no progress becomes too much before they take measures to fix things. The Ostrich sees making no decision as better than making the wrong decision, which fits with their psychological profile of preferring to do nothing. Unlike the Shopper who can be financially competent in their day job (most Shoppers are financially literate, but can’t be bothered to do it outside of work), the Ostrich tends to bury their head in the sand in more than one area of their life.

THE OSTRICH
We are all told that if you want to get ahead, you need to work hard. But working hard in isolation seldom translates to financial progress. Hannah and her team work with their clients to help them understand and achieve their financial capability whether they are shoppers, savers or plodders.

Hannah McQueen is the founder and director of enableMe — Financial Personal Trainers. Her team have worked with more than 5,000 clients and the spectrum of clients is vast. Income levels range from $40,000-$1 million per annum. Clients differ in asset levels, marital status, age and types of employment. But all want to get ahead faster and engage enableMe to help them. Hannah and her team are exposed to a diverse range of situations and in turn have to refine different methodologies to overcome obstacles and employ various strategies to exploit opportunities. The enableMe team know first-hand the havoc your psychology of spending can have on financial progress. Studies suggest genetics could account for 30% of your behaviour around money. Just as the speed of your metabolism can affect the speed of weight loss, your money personality can impact how hard making financial progress might be. Shoppers usually look good but aren’t always making progress. Being a saver, much like having a fast metabolism, should give you the “inside lane” or advantage with regards to financial inroads, but all too often the saver lacks a strategy for financial advancement and ends up no further ahead in spite of their advantage.
