Julius from Everybody Hates Chris
You are loyal to your core and show up to protect and support the people you love. Your friends and family call you a jack of all trades because you have so many skills and talents. You would rather watch a YouTube video on how to fix your sink than call a plumber – 9 times out of 10, you can fix it successfully. Just like Julius, the dad from Everybody Hates Chris, you have a tough exterior like an egg, but when someone breaks you open, you are soft, sweet and kind.
Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants
You are an entrepreneur and feel strongly about spending your money on your current or future business. Just like Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob SquarePants, there is one special person in your life that you spend your time and money on. For Mr. Krabs, it is his daughter Pearl. You dream big about your future and make vision boards because you know you're destined for greatness. You prefer using cash for two reasons: you like the color green and you feel like you spend less money when you pay with it.
Oscar Proud from The Proud Family
You are a hustler and strive to be original. Your family and friends think you are the funniest person they know and they look to you to lighten the mood during hard times. Just like Oscar Proud from The Proud Family you always show up for the people you love. You would go to the ends of the earth for your family to make sure they had what they needed, even if it meant you had to go without. Success is more important than money to you and sometimes you get caught in a scam or a pickle because your need for success clouds your judgment.
Winston Schmidt from New Girl
You are the financial advisor in your friend group and what people call the mom friend because you always take care of everything and everybody just like Winston Schmidt’s character in New Girl. You have a big personality and great style. Your money management skills have helped you save money, invest, and start a Roth IRA. Your desire to be there for others makes it hard for you to ever be alone — you crave the attention and company of others often.
George Costanza from Seinfeld
You are ride-or-die when it comes to your besties, despite your self-loathing tendencies. You are happy to treat friends to a nice dinner, but won't over-tip by even a penny. Just like George, you show up in times of grief (as long as the airline offers bereavement discounts) and happily bring a bottle of cola to every celebration. You're always thinking about your next hustle. Where others see a pastry in the trash, you see a treasure of an opportunity. You are intelligent, crafty, and ambitious — a true master of your financial domain.
Jason Pitts from The Game
You give off main character energy and crave success, which isn’t a bad thing. You are extremely talented and you spend a lot of time working to be the best at your craft, just like Jason Pitts from The Game. No one can pinch a penny and cut costs like you. You have a coupon for everything and find pleasure in going to farmers' markets and haggling with vendors on their prices. You hate being alone and thrive best when you have a partner in crime.
