A new book shows to what lengths Americans will go to turn a buck.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - From the first pack of gum you bought as a kid to the first house you bought, you've been developing an arsenal of financial habits and quirks. If someone were to ask how you tip in a restaurant, how much you spend on holiday gifts or how often you use your credit card, you'd likely have a quick response.

But have you ever wondered if you're keeping up with the Jones's (or if they're keeping up with you)? If you're curious about other people's money and how they behave with it, take the quiz below.
