Living Beyond Means
Overspending on lifestyle can lead to debt, depleted savings, and financial stress with long-term consequences.

Ignoring Emergency Fund
Failing to save for emergencies means relying on credit or loans, increasing financial vulnerability during crises.

Neglecting Retirement
Delaying retirement savings can result in missed compounding benefits, jeopardizing future financial security.

Relying on Debt
Overusing credit cards or loans can lead to high-interest debt, damaging credit and reducing financial flexibility.

Lack of Budgeting
Not tracking income and expenses often leads to overspending, poor savings habits, and financial confusion.

Underinsuring
Neglecting insurance—whether health, life, or renters—can result in devastating costs if unexpected events occur.

Avoiding Investments
Not investing means missing out on growth opportunities, causing savings to lose value to inflation over time.
