1
What are the 3 Financial Mistakes You Should
Avoid?
  • by

2
Relying Too Much on Credit Cards.
  • Relying too much on credit cards for financial
    security is risky.
  • Remember that charging expenses to these plastics
    do not come for free.

3
If you fail to pay your full balance on time, you
will incur the interest rate charge. Most credit
cards have very high rates, especially credit
cards with rewards. You could be stuck in bad
debt so quickly, before you even realize how it
happened.
4
  • How to recover?
  • Check which of your cards have the highest rate
    of interest and find a way to pay this balance
    first completely.
  • Pay your balances one credit card at a time.
  • Consider acquiring a balance transfer credit card
    with zero interest.

5
  • Credit cards should not be used to pay medical
    bills
  • Medical bills and hospitalization costs can
    quickly throw you in a bad debt situation if you
    dont have insurance coverage. To prepare for a
    medical emergency, it is recommended that you
    acquire a health insurance policy.

6
Borrowing Against Your 401(k) Fund.
  • If you need a loan or financial assistance, dont
    take it out on your 401k. Even if you plan to
    return it, you will lose the interest earnings
    until you are able to pay it back. In case you
    lose your job, you will need to work on repayment
    within 60 days or pay the taxes.

7
  • How to recover?
  • Pay back your loan at the soonest possible time
    and reserve this fund for your retirement years.
  • Build your personal fund or a savings fund that
    you can use for financial projects and
    emergencies.

8
  • Asking financial help from the wrong experts.
  • Many consumers who are stuck in a bad debt
    situation sought the wrong kind of help. Many of
    these agencies even claim to be non-profit
    organizations offering credit counseling services
    when in truth, their only purpose is to make
    money out of unsuspecting victims.

9
  • How to recover if you have been a victim of a
    fake credit counseling service
  • File a complaint to the FTC right away.
  • Learn from this experience and be more cautious
    the next time.
  • Carefully check the companys background,
    reputation, and legitimacy by doing your own
    investigation.
