The Innocent Money Personality

The Innocent takes the ostrich approach to money matters. Innocents often live in denial, burying their heads in the sand so they won't have to see what is going on around them. The Innocent is easily overwhelmed by financial information and relies heavily on the advice and opinions of others. Innocents are perhaps the most trusting of all the money archetypes because they do not see people or situations for what they are.

They are not unlike small children in the sense that they have not yet learned to judge or discern other's motives or behavior. While this trait can be very endearing, it is also precarious for an adult trying to cope in the real world.

We all start out our journey in life as innocents. However, as we grow and develop, the veil of innocence is lifted and replaced by our experience with the outer world.
