Many times the problems people get into regarding money are due to a lack of education on how to properly save and live within a budget. What are some common mistakes people make with money? Here is our list of the top five things do with money:

  1. Using credit cards and letting the balances slip month to month without paying them off.
  2. Living beyond their means
  3. Not setting up a monthly budget and sticking to it
  4. Not saving every month and living ‘paycheck to paycheck’
  5. Buying things impulsively and without good reason
