Parks and Recreation Money Quiz

Which Parks and Recreation character matches your financial habits? Answer these questions to find out!

1. How do you handle your monthly budget?

I have a binder for my budget, a binder for my binder, and color-coded tabs for everything. I buried my savings in a secret location. Banks are just the government watching your money. Treat yo'self! My budget is 90% lifestyle and 10% everything else. I'm a numbers person — I literally used to audit budgets for a living. I have money? Oh wait, that's just old receipts in my pocket.

2. What's your biggest spending weakness?

Gifts for my friends, waffles, and campaign supplies. Fine woodworking tools and a really good steak. That's it. Designer everything — clothes, tech, cologne, DJ equipment... Nerdy hobbies — board games, comics, and the occasional calzone. Band equipment, food (especially burritos), and random impulse stuff.

3. How do you approach saving money?

I save with a purpose — every dollar is earmarked for a project or goal! I've been saving since I was 9. My money is in gold, buried where only I know. I'll save after my next business takes off. It's called investing in myself. Automatic transfers, diversified savings, and a detailed spreadsheet to track it all. I found $5 in my coat pocket once. Does that count as saving?

4. What's your approach to financial emergencies?

I form a committee, create an action plan, and rally my team! I'm entirely self-sufficient. I could survive in the woods for years if needed. I call my friends for help and start brainstorming a business to fix it. I already have an emergency fund with exactly 6 months of expenses calculated. I don't really notice emergencies until someone points them out to me.

5. How do you make big purchase decisions?

I make a pros/cons list, consult my friends, and write a proposal to myself. I buy quality things that last forever. I'd rather have one great thing than ten cheap ones. If it's trendy and impressive, I need it. YOLO. Treat yo'self! I run the numbers, check reviews, and make sure it fits the budget first. Ooh, shiny! I'll figure out how to pay for it later!

6. What's your financial goal?

To fund all my ambitious projects and help my community thrive! Complete self-sufficiency. I should owe nothing to anyone, especially the government. To be a mogul! Tom Haverford Enterprises will be a household name! A balanced, well-planned retirement with my family secure and happy. To be happy! Money stuff is confusing but being happy is simple.
