Count which letters predominate in your answers. If this is an "A" - then you, like most of us, periodically experience difficulties, discussing financial issues with your partner. The situation has not yet become critical, but you should think about the fact that each clarification of the relationship spoils them. Try at once to solve all fundamental issues and agree on "rules of the game." And then just stick to them.
If you have the answers "B" prevailing, then money has already become one of the most serious problems in your relationship. In order not to put them at risk of a full break, try to come as soon as possible with the partner to the "common denominator."
If you scored the most "B" answers, then you almost never quarrel over money with your partner. Both of you are organized and treat money equally. Keep it up!
