Today I’d like to introduce you to Wise Wesley, the fourth of our five money styles. Wise Wesley is a master with his money. He budgets, lives within his means and invests for the future. Because he is so good with his money, he studies economic trends and makes smart investment choices. He is always prepared for a rainy day.

He also loves sharing this information with family and friends, sometimes to the point of being annoying. He can come across as a know-it-all, but he’s basically a good guy who just wants to help others be as good with money as he is.

Wise Wesley is a good match for any of the three money styles we’ve already discussed. Wise Wesley can help Frugal Freddy plan smartly for the future while taking care of today’s needs. He can help Lavish Lucy curb her spending while saving for a rainy day, and he can show Cautious Casey how to take care of daily money chores like balancing her checkbook, checking her bank statements, paying bills on time, etc.

Next time, we’ll talk about the fifth money style, Mona Mix-it-up, who is a combination of the four styles we’ve already talked about. Stay tuned for more money advice from the Penny Smart Girl!
