Spending without a budget is wrong. You can’t manage your finances properly if you don’t have a budget.

{{2. THINKING INVESTING ISN’T NECESSARY}}

As youths, it’s so easy to think investments aren’t needed. Sometimes you tell yourself why invest when you have a good job. Investing today will help you in the long run.

{{3. PARTYING AFTER PAY DAY}}

This lifestyle is common among youths. You shouldn’t waste your youth with this lifestyle. Most people with this lifestyle run into debts before the end of the month.

{{4. NOT HAVING A RETIREMENT PLAN}}

So many people today are scared of retiring because they don’t have a retirement plan. Your future starts today. Don’t deceive yourself by telling yourself you have enough time to do that. The best time to start securing your future is now.

{{5. COMPETING WITH FRIENDS}}

Competing with friends is another financial mistake most youths make. You don’t have to buy a car just because your friend bought one. Avoid the temptation of competing with friends.
