spending too much on housing” is another pervasive and critical consumer financial regret.

A good rule of thumb on buying a home is to never spend more than 30% of your pre-tax annual income (this goes for individuals and spouses) on a home purchase. That number should decline, however, if you’ve already accumulated significant debt on things like student loans and high credit card debt.

The focus should be on minimizing expenses and saving more. There are a lot of things that needs to be completely removed from your life, for example junk food. You need to look at things that you should stop doing it so that you are minimizing your expenses as well as cutting your expenses.

Getting in debt due to bad spending habits such as the uncontrolled use of credit cards can quickly lead you to a downward spiral.

Although you can have the initial luxury of spending and paying for large expenditures, you will find it coming back to bite you.

Not having a financial plan: this is truly significant is it makes spending discipline and sets out open doors for saving. Not having one resembles attempting to go without a guide. A plan is very important to keep is focus on things we need and not.

One financial mistake one should avoid is gambling with the little you or putting your money into ponzi scheme. This is because betting is a very high risk way of getting finance because there is a 100 percent tendency of loosing all what you have, make your plan well to cut unnecessary

It is very good idea to invest money to increase money but I think someone should avoid investment without research . We should not buy things on budget and they are not in my plans. I think financial accounting is very important . I think to invest money in any business is better than save money in the bank.

For me it will be not Investing Appropriately - If you simply keep your cash in reserve/savings bank account, you are not investing you are doing the opposite. Your saved Money will lose its value and become worthless due to rise in inflation.
It's better you invest your Money into Profitable and low Risk Businesses and keep your money flowing beating inflation and making your money more worthy.

That is truly a great mistake to avoid. Some people like keeping large sums of money in the bank instead of investing it, that makes their money loose value. Another mistake in personal finance is spending money when you are emotional. That makes you spend unnecessarily and then you end up broke.

The greatest mistake I will say every one should avoid is investing with funds that you know you don't want to lose.. normally investments can come in the field losses and it is normal, everyone should be prepared for such in case it happens. That is it.

The personal mistakes we should avoid by doing is to invest your money in only those platforms where we know that we can get it back with a great profit because there are very scammers websites who make us fool and run
investing is a great platform where everyone can make money in a double amount and they most of them invest in the stock but it is the great idea and knowledge that those who invest in stock and in coins get double amount of in the return

Bad debt is a big risk in your business and not investing the money earned and keeping it in the bank which might lose its value in the long run its a very big mistake which everyone really need to avoid.

Number one personal finance mistake you can ever make is not knowing the difference between an asset and a liability. And I said to something that put money into your pocket while The liability is something that takes money out of your pocket. Once you know the difference between the two, you will not run into debt as you will be focusing more on acquiring assets.

One mistake people make is to be quick to spend their profit when it comes. Most times the first strand of profit from the business they get in their hands. They spend without thinking about ploughing back into the business to grow.

 

[Godleads1]

A financial step that is better to avoid is the gathering of liability. What most people call wealth isn't wealth or riches. They pile up expenses in the form of cars, careless spending and the likes. Some even believe in the fatness of their bank accounts with out investment.

 

[Adexgrace]

As for me personal finance mistake one should not make us investing all that you have.
It is not advisable to invest all that one have once into investment because investment can be risky, so to avoid that, one must invest little at a time or venture into skill.
