Topic: "10 Common Mistakes We make with MONEY" - page 5. (Read 2165 times)
These are very common mistakes people should be wary of otherwise you may find it difficult to be financially free.
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.
Thank you for this, it is very helpful and you have very good and clear points. Well, in number 1 there are some cases that you lend money to someone. In my case, I only lend money to people that I know that he can pay me back or else I will not let him borrow money. If a person asks for money and he will use it for example, a business,sure I will lend him some because we can help each other once he has a stable status on his business. 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.

This is such a wonderful compilation of tips and I am pretty sure it will be applied by the people who read this thread and personally I am guilty in whatever is written above and I usually commit mistakes by having such wrong idea towards savings, whenever what or how much we get always put what ypu should put in your savings when emergency time comes you will be grateful for saving.
In short, most of the people are not responsible in handling their assets. Even I, when I have much money, I always treat my friends and family specially if I got it here. Afterwards, the only money left in my wallet is coin. Though I expend much, I made it for my own happiness. In my opinion, saving of money is not good at all time, as long as you are happy with it then you use it with full kf enjoyment.
This is a very interesting piece written by the author. Thank you very much for pointing this out. I wish I have merit to give you on this.
as I see so many millionaires are investing only in property by buying a house and renting it for a passive income which won`t have the break even point for more than 30 years, instead of opening new businesses with more jobs and opportunities for everyone.
That doesn’t really have to do with what we are discussing here, but still I don’t see anything wrong with people buying houses and renting them for a passive income. It’s your money man, and you got to invest it wisely, any way you believe its gonna benefit you more then you can go for that, nobody tells you what to do with your money. Though I wouldn’t go for that, I would prefer to open industries and create job opportunities for people.
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.
In this case, I think there are still many people doing it
Because, sometimes I do it myself
I think we have to change these bad habits for a better future Buying what we dont need to impress others who give no fuck about us.
Spending more than our net income.
Buying on credit.
Living a life that is fake to impress others.
Spending more than our net income.

Living a life that is fake to impress others.
Define real life so ?
And when you're done, you'll like the feedback of people whom sees you on how you are living through that lifestyle which is unnecessary that makes you spend much.
In no case money is real life, that was my answer. Of course I get what he mean but real life should be something else, or us, humans, won't stay a long time on earth.
Mistake 6 is very common among salary earners and low income earners. But if one can avoid these mistakes, a lot of problems will be avoided as well. But mistake 1 is very hard to avoid especially to family and friends.
I think saving from your little budget is really a hard thing to do so but as most people said,learn to save even a little amount because you will not know what will happen in your retirement age.So much better to be prepared as early time as now because in your old age,your body cannot do things anymore like what you did at the present times.

I never lend money to people and I don’t give what I will be expecting back, once I give money to people I forget about and I also don’t give much to them. I have so many problems with lending money to people, I lend the money and they promise to pay in so and so time and when that time comes they will start coming up with fake stories just to avoid paying me back my money. One thing I have learnt is that when people ask you for money that’s because they have a problem, so you should help them with what you can afford to lose. 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.

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.
Not everyone is capable enough to borrow from a bank. There are a lot of requirements needed to borrow in a bank and those who don’t have collateral are deprived of the opportunity to borrow money. The sad part is that SMEs are sometimes forced to resort to borrowing from loan sharks even when they can’t afford it because they have no choice. I know that it’s a bad idea to lend money because there’s a huge chance that it won’t be returned but you can’t help but have some pity sometimes.
as I see so many millionaires are investing only in property by buying a house and renting it for a passive income which won`t have the break even point for more than 30 years, instead of opening new businesses with more jobs and opportunities for everyone.
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.
I am in favor for this mistake which is common for everyone. We should learn how to handle our money for the future. At least, we had already know the common mistake in handling money? Then we should avoid this mistake will happen.
I think this is a mistake that is being made by a lot of people in my country, of the people I know almost no one saves, they spend everything they have and most of the time even more and the worst part is that the additional money comes from credit cards and then they just make the minimum payments which is a terrible idea since you are basically just throwing your money away since it is impossible to pay your debt that way.I am in favor for this mistake which is common for everyone. We should learn how to handle our money for the future. At least, we had already know the common mistake in handling money? Then we should avoid this mistake will happen.
inflation then you have to save your money on gold or silver. the price will remain stable and not affected inflation
