Is Your Partner Hopeless With Money?

Your partner is horrible at handling finances, so you finally decide to give them pocket money while you look after the bank account. Do you worry about hurting their feelings or do you just get tough and tell them the truth?

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Grounded in the Real World
Taurus will dig in their heels till they get control of the purse strings. They are security conscious and won’t let anyone upset that. They’ll win the cash battles.

Virgo can be chaotic about finances, but as they mature they get serious about being well organized. They’re happy to take over money matters.

Capricorn likes to be on top of financial matters and can be decidedly cool when a partner is careless with money. They’ll do whatever is necessary to keep the ship on an even keel.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Security-Conscious
Cancer will nag about money problems, and they won’t be satisfied until they’ve harnessed their partner’s extravagant spending habits.

Scorpio is good with money and likes to be in control. Despite being sentimental about family, they won’t let anyone put them at risk. They’ll be sharply critical of a partner’s financial failings.

Pisces will worry endlessly and try to squirrel a surplus away for a rainy day. That said, they tend to be dependent on partners and hate confrontations, and may let them takeover finances.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Sky’s the Limit
All of the Air signs can’t stand being tied down with boring financial details. And beware: Libra is especially extravagant!

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Someone Will Bail Me Out!
Aries will scream and complain if there’s a shortage of cash, but they’re not likely to help figure out a strategy when it comes to running domestic finances.

Leo spends money like it was going out of style. They need a hard-headed partner to keep them on track, but who also let’s them to think they’re top dog.

Sagittarius hates money problems and tends to avoid being the one in charge. But when push comes to shove, they will do so -- with loud complaints.
