1. Not Budgeting
Creating a budget is not complicated. At the end of the month look online at your credit card purchases, checks written, and so on and make a chart of expenses. Also include in that chart all of your income for the month. Then analyze where you can save money and/or earn more. Set a goal to change a few expenditures in certain categories and/or making more money by doing something additional to what you already are. Then, stick to your plan!
