fiscality

/fɪˈskælədi/
IPA guide

Other forms: fiscalities

A person’s fiscality shows up when they obsess over money — making money, counting it, and holding on to it — instead of treating it as a necessary tool to be used for doing worthwhile things in life.

Fiscality is formed from the adjective fiscal, meaning “financial,” and the suffix -ity, which makes it into a noun referring to a character trait. In another, more neutral meaning, though, fiscality refers to any matter, point of discussion, or detail that has to do with money. For example, you may have a plan to go to a certain university in another city and become a social worker, but before you can put it into action you have to work out the fiscalities. Good luck!
