5 Money Mistakes Keeping You Broke (Fix These ASAP!) 🚨

Hey there! 👋

If you’re struggling to save, invest, or grow your wealth, it’s probably not your fault. Most people were never taught how money really works. 😬

But don’t worry—we’re here to change that. Here are 5 BIG money mistakes you might be making (and how to fix them). 👇

❌ Mistake #1: Not Tracking Your Money

Ever feel like your money just "disappears"? That’s what happens when you don’t track where it’s going. If you don’t control your money, your money will control you. 😬

✔️ Fix It: Use a simple budgeting app (like Mint, YNAB, or even a spreadsheet) to track income & expenses.

❌ Mistake #2: Waiting to Invest

Most people think they need a lot of money to start investing. Wrong! The biggest advantage you have is time. The earlier you invest, the more your money grows.

✔️ Fix It: Start with whatever you can—even $10/month in an index fund is better than nothing.

❌ Mistake #3: Relying Only on a 9-to-5

A single paycheck is NOT financial security anymore. If your job disappeared tomorrow, how long could you survive? The rich build multiple income streams.

✔️ Fix It: Start a side hustle, invest in assets, or create a source of passive income.

❌ Mistake #4: Lifestyle Inflation

Got a raise? A bonus? Many people immediately upgrade their lifestyle (new car, expensive gadgets). But spending more when you make more keeps you stuck.

✔️ Fix It: Instead of increasing expenses, increase your investments. Let extra money grow instead of spending it all.

❌ Mistake #5: Not Having an Emergency Fund

Life happens—unexpected bills, car repairs, medical costs. If you don’t have savings, you’ll end up in debt fast.

✔️ Fix It: Save at least 3-6 months of living expenses in an emergency fund.
