Financial fortunes written in the stars
Published On 30 November 2006
A new study has indicated that star signs may have a bearing on your financial habits.According to a report by the credit reference agency Equifax, there are definite differences in the way people under different star signs manage their money.
Capricorns were discovered to be the most likely to have more than £5,000 in debt, while Virgos are most liable to become embroiled in long-term debt and are worst at paying off the full sum of their credit card balances.
Aries were found to be best in all money matters – something to remember when choosing a financial adviser, while Libras are the worst savers of the lot.
Neil Munroe, external affairs director at Equifax, said that although the survey was designed to be light-hearted, it had thrown up some interesting points.
"We all need to be aware of our financial habits and ensure we prepare for those inevitable rainy days," he said.
"How we manage our money now will certainly influence our lifestyle in the future."
Aquarians were found to spend more time in their overdrafts than anyone else.
