Truly, most of these mistakes are very common. I have been a victim of Mistake 1 several times in the past but have learnt from my mistakes. A lot of people have borrowed money from me which they never paid back and I had no option other than to just forget about it. I am also the type of person that does not like reminding my debtor of his debt. So now, is either I give you and crossing my mind about the money, or I simply DON'T.

mistake 6 is really important. These days everyone has credit card. They are really useful if you know how to use it. But with credit card it is really easy to spent more than you earn.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation
Mistake 1: Never lend someone money you are not willing to loose. When you lend someone money, always assume you may never get it back. If you feel that after lending the money out you may not be able to survive with what is left with you, then simply don’t lend the person.

Mistake 2: Whenever you have the opportunity to meet a wealthy or an influential person, never you ask for money, but rather ask for ideas or ways which you can grow your own business. That will make you a more purposeful person.

Mistake 3: Never you spend money you haven’t received or expecting. In other words, do not buy anything on credit because Mr. A has promised you certain money, or that Mr. B will pay you the debt he owes you. It might make you to run into debts should the source fails to pay. I hope you understand this point.

Mistake 4: For proper saving, do not attempt to save what is left after spending, but rather spend what is left after saving. Like you already know, human wants are insatiable, as long as you have the money, you will always have something to buy. Also, never you keep any money you are not going to spend on short term handy or within easy reach. It is best to keep it safe away.

Mistake 5: Do not sign as a guarantor to anyone on financial matters unless you have enough or are willing to pay any misappropriation or money that may arise from the person’s misdeed. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. It can cause you problems.

Mistake 6: Do not consistently spend more than you earn or spend all that you earn. You may not have anything for the rainy days or at retirement.

Mistake 7: Do not spend more money on an item you can purchase same for less within the same neighborhood. It is not a wise spending.

Mistake 8: Never you borrow money that accrues interest to start a business. That will put you undue pressure as you will be working to service the debt and the accrued interest for a long period of time. It could be frustrating especially if things are not as perfect as you would have predicted.

Mistake 9: Do not starve your family or fail to take your child to the hospital SIMPLY because you want to save the money you have for the future. It might leave you in regrets.

Mistake 10: While it is good to save, it does not necessarily means you should save all the money you have. Learn to reinvest some so that it will yield more. It is like planting a seed or grain, nurturing and watering it to yield more fruits. This should be self-explanatory I think.

Which of these mistakes do you think people are guiltier of? Do you think there are other mistakes not included here? Please share your thoughts.



You have highlighted most of the mistakes people make concerning money spending. I am personally guilty of about three to four of those mistakes and I especially thank you for this beautiful piece.
I have, in time last,  borrowed people money with the hope of getting it back but I have always regretted it and funny enough, this happened for a number of times. I however learnt mistakes through this piece and such won't ever repeat itself.

Nice lecture. Everything you have mentioned above is true and there are many people who are like that. I do not save, but I want to. The problem is everyone is in need of money. Some want to establish a business, so they have to save money, and some want to save money just for entertainment. People differ from one to another. The good thing is to save money for necessary purposes, not just save it to waste it later on on drinks or cigarettes.  
Some people are also guilty of this you have said. They save money over several years, instead of utilizing it on something meaningful, they end up blowing the savings away in something that might not really worth their spending.

I really love this point. We mostly make mistakes sometimes regarding this. Someone may say oh I'll get this money soon and so start spending it even before it arrives, and sometimes those monies never arrive. One bad aspect is that some people take loans depending on an incoming money to pay back- a very bad and dangerous habit we should all put a stop to.

Common mistakes that have been there for decades and people still haven't learned anything.

We just have to accept that people inherently cause more harm than good to themselves and their environment. It all comes down to the situation and the event that makes people end up doing something they otherwise wouldn't do. If you have to make a split second decision, the majority of the people will drop all their initial values and just go with what they at that point consider to be the best option to go for.

It's either a good or bad decision. It can't always be a good one, so one way or another, they will end up making the common rookie mistake anyway.

Just let it happen. People learn from mistakes, not from lists.

Yes indeed it is... but we should learn how to save it and and spend it wisely as well...  Because to be honest it is really true...

Commonly, we are mistaken in terms of spending our money in a non sense thing. We always buy a dead investment just like luxury materials, cars, gadgets and etc. If we can budget our own income adn we utilize our expenses, then there is a chance that it will grow. If we divide our income in a good manner, we can save a lot. Spend our money in our necessities and not with our preferences, invest and don't waste money for cool stuff.

Mistake at number 10, because money should be developed. Imagine if used in business it will be more profitable for you.

Why should a money need to be developed? I don't think that is your decision to made and there is nothing wrong with money right now. You are also, misunderstanding the post of the OP for number 10, he is using a metaphorical statement to his post and you just repeat what he had said, but in a different words. The reason he used the statement, " planting a seed or grain".

I wouldnt agree with everything. For example even the first mistake to lend money. You really need to know to whom to lend it, sometimes you will get back much more maybe not the money, but some possobilities for example. So you never know, maybe you shouldnt lend big amount, but small amounts why not.

Number one is so like me. I usually lend someone money without even thinking of taking back my money. That is if the money is not so big and I can afford to lose it. That is a mistake I usually done with my money.

That is a very useful article and I learned a lot of experience after reading the whole article. This is one of the mistakes of young people who have just graduated. I'm a young person and I think I need to learn these mistakes to grow up in financial management.

This is just true, most of family usually are being asked by a lot of people when they are in need, my family usually are one of the most kind family you will ever know and that is being taken advantage of. I need to send these quotations to my family.

Mistake 2: Whenever you have the opportunity to meet a wealthy or an influential person, never you ask for money, but rather ask for ideas or ways which you can grow your own business. That will make you a more purposeful person.

I am from a third world country and this is really accurate. Usually, when someone just came back from other country because of work, they usually borrow money, even ask money to start drinking, it is not bad to give but most of the time, you must really know how to say "No" since you are going abroad to work and earn money for your family, that is not to be lent or to be borrowed unless you have money to be lent.

Why give someone money at all? It's a bankers ' business. They have lost their money many times and have many ways to claim debts. Individuals do not have such opportunities. It seems to me that point one needs to be replaced by the fact that doing their business in which you have experience and do not go to someone else's territory. You will always be defenseless there. Leave loans to bankers.
A stranger will never come to you to borrow some money.  It must be your friends, neighbor or family.  We are living in society, sometimes we help others in needs.
