Outlook Money
Think you’re good with money? These common habits say otherwise. These red flags reveal weak financial discipline and how they silently drain your future wealth.
If you don’t track where your money goes, you’ll always feel broke.
If your salary disappears before the month ends, it signals no savings plan, no buffer, and complete dependence on income.
Saving only “when something is left” means nothing will ever be left.
Revolving credit, late payments or minimum due cycles show poor discipline. This debt should be paid at the earliest or it even takes away your next paycheque.
Buying without thinking drains money silently.
No back-up savings means you’re one crisis away from financial stress and debt.
Keeping all your money idle in a savings account ensures inflation eats it. Learning financial literacy and investing as per your goals is one sure shot way to creating wealth.
If you can't recall where your money went, you’re financially disorganised.
Loans or EMIs for phones, gadgets, holidays or fashion shows unhealthy priorities, but borrowing for basic lifestyle choices signals poor money habits.
