DIRTY THIRTIES
This is the decade to get serious about your financial future. If you're money-savvy and plan well ahead, you can set yourself up for refreshing financial freedom later in life. But watch out for the following stones in the road:
1. Not being in tune with your partner
Finances cause conflict in relationships, so have the money talk during the early stages. Discuss your and your partner's income, debts and savings, spending habits and financial goals. Make joint decisions about managing your money long-term, including whether to combine your finances or keep some parts separate.
2. Not paying bills on time
This is a big no-no. Tardiness can destroy your credit rating and make it tricky to get a home loan or car finance when you may need it.
