Are you savvier than most? See how you stack up against loveMONEY readers
Want to know whether you're part of the financial herd or a money maverick who goes their own way? See how you stack up against your fellow readers.
We all have different views on the best way to manage our money.
We all think we're making the right choices, but are you treading a well-beaten path or thinking outside the (safety deposit) box when it comes to money matters?
We've gathered a series of polls that have run on the site over the last year and thought it would be interesting to see how we compare on various areas of finance.
Are you in the majority when it comes to shopping habits? Or are you the sole believer in ethical investing? Vote in each poll to find out where you stand against your fellow readers.
At the end, let us know if you go it alone more often than not, or if you are very much a believer in safety in numbers.
Before we begin please note these are polls that are usually run in 'neutral' articles. That is to say, if we put a poll asking people if they were interested in buy-to-let within an article on that topic, chances are the numbers would be heavily swayed and is thus excluded from this set.
Hopefully, this gives a broad representation of our money values.
Let's see how you compare.
1. Rubbish savings rates are a constant source of pain for most of us. So how well, or poorly, are you doing against fellow savers?
