Managing money isn’t easy. Education up to graduation rarely focuses on this essential life skill. Often, what one gathers is from parents, siblings and friends who may have unknowingly committed mistakes in their financial decisions. Moreover, easy credit, mixed voices, conflicting advice on finance from various sources and financial jargon prove to be the other challenges. It is easy to commit financial mistakes, especially when one has so many things to juggle around and distract us.
Naturally, mistakes related to money happen all the time and you are not alone if you have any financial regrets of your own. Regardless of your age or life stage or current financial position, understanding money-related mistakes and how you can avoid them can help you get back on the path to financial independence. But, knowing where to start can be a challenge and often it takes several mistakes before one realises the error of their financial ways by which time the negative consequences have already had their effect.
Often, financial advice sounds simple. Save more, spend less, be adequately insured, have a financial plan and invest right are some of the phrases that make it all sound easy. However, it can be challenging to keep up and more difficult to figure out which of this advice is worth following. Money mistakes are arguably subjective. For instance, a car loan is expensive, but you need the car to commute to work, which in turn enhances your work profile. It is tempting to bury our heads in the sand when it comes to our financial life, which could have some financially catastrophic outcomes.
