Many people of working age make the same mistake,believing that the pension will come in some infinitely distant period.

Pre-made savings will not significantly reduce the quality of life after reaching the retirement age.

These are large amounts. Financial advisors seriously believe that a major debt is a good reason to spoil relations with a loved one. And problems with the return of money arise quite often, and we can not "press" on friends for a number of reasons.

8. To lay down housing for obtaining a business loan

For many, it is tempting to have the opportunity to get starting capital for own business on the security of housing.

Inability to save money and the opportunity to issue a loan within half an hour lead only to the fact that, without noticing, people are in debt in debt.

4. Do not pay attention to small expenses

Do we often think about the fact that a daily chocolate bar, a weekly glossy magazine or regular trips by taxi - are tens of thousands of rubles a year? By the way, the desire to save - this is a great reason to get rid of bad habits, as a way to quit smoking, which takes a lot of money.

3. Store money at home

2. Do not plan your purchases

The lack of planning in small things leads to the fact that about 30% of everything that is in the basket during a visit to the supermarket is a useless waste of money. And if you do not plan large acquisitions - a car, appliances, etc., it's easy to become a victim of a "credit" illness, gradually accumulating unnecessary debts.

1. To hesitate to ask for an increase in the salary of

It's so nice to be a "good guy" or "share a girl" in the office and deliver a minimum of hassle to your bosses. However, false embarrassment and fear leads to the fact that income does not grow at the same rate or does not grow at all. Particularly in such a "hardship" are women who are forced to talk about raising their salaries or positions are often more difficult than for more assertive male colleagues.
