There are a lot of personal finance mistakes out there, and it can be hard to know what to avoid. here are the top most mistakes:
1. Not being aware of your money
You need to know how much money you have, where it's going, and how much you're spending.
2. Not having a plan
If you don't have an idea of where your money is going, or why it's not working the way you want it to, then there's no way to fix it!
3. Spending too much on things that don't matter
It's easy to get caught up in the moment to buy something because it looks expensive or because it makes us feel good about ourselves for buying it but remember that every purchase has a cost and a benefit. Think about which one outweighs the other before making a purchase!
4. Not saving enough for retirement
One of the biggest expenses people face when they retire is medical care, so make sure you have some savings set aside for this expense!
5. Not having enough savings to live on
To be able to save money, you need to either have a steady income or make extra money each month. If you're not saving at least 10% of your income each month, then you won't be able to accumulate any significant amount of wealth over time.
6. Being afraid of investing in stocks or mutual funds
If you're worried about how much risk is involved with investing in stocks and mutual funds, then there's no reason for that fear! A well-balanced investment portfolio is actually very safe and it can even be more profitable than investing in bonds or CDs (Certificates of Deposit).
