Are money worries written in the stars?

The time of year in which you are born may be affecting your banking skills and how good you are at managing your finances.

According to Credit Expert, our star signs could determine our financial futures and have huge effects on our personal lives as a result.

Research from the firm has found that Scorpios become so concerned with money problems that they are more likely than any other sign to split from their partner over financial worries.

Cancerians, on the other hand, have the least rows about money but this is likely to be down to the fact that 17 per cent regularly lie to their partners about how much they spend.

The most honest signs when it comes to finances are Capricorns and Arians, while the most confident about their credit rating are people born under the sign of the Taurus.

“Regardless of whether you take astrology seriously, the survey shows that there are a lot of people with great concerns about their spending and borrowing,” said Jim Hodgkins from Credit Expert.

“Instead of looking to horoscopes for solutions to their financial problems, they’d be better off looking at their credit reports.

“Your credit history is part of your financial CV and if it doesn’t reflect your current status, lenders may be less inclined to offer you credit in the future,” he added.

If you are unsure of your credit rating it may be worth finding out so that you know exactly where you stand and can correct any wrong information that may be held against your name.
