When               it               comes               to               managing               our               personal               finances,               we               can't               help               but               make               mistakes               now               and               again.

Bouncing               checks,               ignoring               ATM               fees,               and               forgetting               to               pay               a               bill               in               a               timely               manner               are               all               common               mistakes               that               each               of               us               have               made               in               the               past.

One               mistake               that               many               people               make               is               in               not               realizing               that               getting               ahead               financially               is               not               just               about               earning               more               money;               it               also               means               taking               a               close               look               at               how               your               money               is               spent.

"Watch               the               pennies               and               the               dollars               will               take               care               of               themselves"               is               as               solid               bit               of               advice               for               our               century               as               is               was               when               Benjamin               Franklin               first               said               it               in               the               1700s.
               Here               is               a               roundup               of               15               common               money               mistakes               that               can               eat               at               the               pennies               (and               dollars)               in               your               checkbook.

Learning               from               these               mistakes               so               that               they               aren't               repeated               is               what               leads               to               wealth.
               1.

Paying               your               bills               late.

Creditors               have               bills               of               their               own,               which               is               why               they               penalize               individuals               who               make               late               payments.

These               penalties               range               from               a               1.5%               interest               fee               to               a               $45               late               fee               and               more.

Paying               bills               late               can               also               impact               your               good               credit               which               means               that               you               can               expect               to               pay               a               higher               interest               on               future               consumer               loans.
               2.

Ignoring               Transaction               fees.

Many               utility               companies,               tax               agencies,               and               schools               use               3rd               party               payment               programs               to               process               on-line               payments               for               a               1-3%               "transaction               fee".

A               cheaper               solution               is               to               pay               by               check               or               to               set               up               a               "bill               pay"               payment               plan               which               is               free.
               3.

Not               checking               receipts.

Based               on               my               own               experience,               1               in               3               retail               stores               make               errors               in               their               favor.

Checking               receipts               before               leaving               the               store               will               catch               missed               coupons               and               over               rings               that               cost               you               money.
               4.

Lose               track               of               your               spending.

This               is               one               mistake               that               I've               had               to               deal               with               over               the               years               because               I               shop               with               a               debit               card.

One               tip               that               works               for               me               is               to               take               a               limited               amount               of               cash               with               me               when               shopping               or               buy               a               gift               card               to               use               instead.
               5.

Having               too               many               credit               cards.

When               lenders               evaluate               a               loan               application,               they               view               all               those               credit               cards               as               sources               of               potential               debt               even               if               they               sit               at               zero               balances.

A               high               debt-to-income               ratio               means               a               higher               interest               rate               for               your               new               loan.

(View               Calculating               your               debt-to-income               ratio"               to               learn               how               how               to               determine               your               DTI               number).
               6.

No               checking               account.

Having               a               checking               account               is               an               important               step               in               establishing               a               good               relationship               with               a               bank.

It               also               means               no               more               purchasing               money               orders               to               pay               your               bills               or               check               cashing               fees.
               7.

Not               using               coupons.

I'm               not               a               coupon               clipper               since               I               cook               from               scratch               however,               I               will               grab               the               store               circulars               as               I               walk               through               the               door               of               my               favorite               grocery               &               discount               department               stores.

Grabbing               the               ads               saves               me               ~               on               average               ~               about               $25               per               visit               which               is               some               serious               cash.
               8.

Using               the               overdraft               as               a               short               term               loan.

Bouncing               a               check               sets               off               an               avalanche               of               overdraft               fees               that               can               wipe               out               half               a               paycheck.

To               avoid               paying               overdraft               fees,               sign               up               for               overdraft               protection               or               keep               an               extra               $200               in               your               account               to               cover               addition               mistakes               you               might               make.
               9.

Not               having               credit               cards.

When               properly               used,               a               credit               card               can               save               you               money,               earn               rewards               credits,               and               will               improve               your               credit               score               which               translates               to               lower               interest               rates               on               car               &               home               loans.
               10.

Ignoring               the               fine               print               on               payment               plans.

Private               party               payment               plans               are               front               loaded               with               a               hefty               processing               fee               which               when               added               to               the               interest               rate               will               add               hundreds               of               dollars               to               the               cost               of               your               purchase.

Before               jumping               on               board               with               an               in-store               finance               plan,               check               the               fine               print               to               determine               if               using               a               credit               card               may               actually               be               cheaper.

Cheaper               yet,               pay               in               cash.
               11.

Never               comparison               shop.

My               daughter               loves               the               clothes               carried               at               Macy's               &               Deb               but               has               discovered               that               Ross               carries               many               of               the               same               brands               at               50-75%               less.

Consumers               who               don't               comparison               shop               are               paying               premium               prices               which               lowers               your               spending               power.
               12.

Not               having               a               savings               account.

Without               savings,               you               are               stuck               borrowing               for               vacations,               a               new               car,               emergencies               and               other               unexpected               expenses               that               crop               up.

Having               money               in               savings               means               cash               flowing               these               expenses               which               saves               you               interest.
               13.

Lending               money               to               friends               or               cosigning               on               a               loan.

If               your               friend's               credit               is               so               rotten               that               the               bank               won't               risk               loaning               them               money,               why               should               you?

Lending               money               means               you               probably               won't               see               it               back               and               as               far               as               co-signing,               don't               even               think               about               it               unless               you               enjoy               having               your               credit               wrecked               and               paycheck               garnished.
               14.

Poor               tax               planning.

Tax               planning               goes               beyond               saving               up               all               your               receipts               and               tracking               deductible               expenses,               it               means               planning               for               next               year.

Most               of               us               are               not               intimately               familiar               with               the               tax               laws               which               is               why               hiring               an               accountant               to               prepare               your               taxes               and               help               with               tax               planning               can               save               you               money               at               tax               time.
               15.

Don't               overextend               yourself.

Living               within               your               means               that               you               can               live               comfortable               on               your               existing               income               without               the               worry               of               meeting               monthly               payments.
