Why give someone money at all? It's a bankers ' business. They have lost their money many times and have many ways to claim debts. Individuals do not have such opportunities. It seems to me that point one needs to be replaced by the fact that doing their business in which you have experience and do not go to someone else's territory. You will always be defenseless there. Leave loans to bankers.

Mistake 1: Never lend someone money you are not willing to loose. When you lend someone money, always assume you may never get it back. If you feel that after lending the money out you may not be able to survive with what is left with you, then simply don’t lend the person.

Not everyone is capable enough to borrow from a bank. There are a lot of requirements needed to borrow in a bank and those who don’t have collateral are deprived of the opportunity to borrow money. The sad part is that SMEs are sometimes forced to resort to borrowing from loan sharks even when they can’t afford it because they have no choice. I know that it’s a bad idea to lend money because there’s a huge chance that it won’t be returned but you can’t help but have some pity sometimes.

Mistake 1: Never lend someone money you are not willing to loose. When you lend someone money, always assume you may never get it back. If you feel that after lending the money out you may not be able to survive with what is left with you, then simply don’t lend the person.

Mistake 2: Whenever you have the opportunity to meet a wealthy or an influential person, never you ask for money, but rather ask for ideas or ways which you can grow your own business. That will make you a more purposeful person.

Mistake 3: Never you spend money you haven’t received or expecting. In other words, do not buy anything on credit because Mr. A has promised you certain money, or that Mr. B will pay you the debt he owes you. It might make you to run into debts should the source fails to pay. I hope you understand this point.

Mistake 4: For proper saving, do not attempt to save what is left after spending, but rather spend what is left after saving. Like you already know, human wants are insatiable, as long as you have the money, you will always have something to buy. Also, never you keep any money you are not going to spend on short term handy or within easy reach. It is best to keep it safe away.

Mistake 5: Do not sign as a guarantor to anyone on financial matters unless you have enough or are willing to pay any misappropriation or money that may arise from the person’s misdeed. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. It can cause you problems.

Mistake 6: Do not consistently spend more than you earn or spend all that you earn. You may not have anything for the rainy days or at retirement.

Mistake 7: Do not spend more money on an item you can purchase same for less within the same neighborhood. It is not a wise spending.

Mistake 8: Never you borrow money that accrues interest to start a business. That will put you undue pressure as you will be working to service the debt and the accrued interest for a long period of time. It could be frustrating especially if things are not as perfect as you would have predicted.

Mistake 9: Do not starve your family or fail to take your child to the hospital SIMPLY because you want to save the money you have for the future. It might leave you in regrets.

Mistake 10: While it is good to save, it does not necessarily means you should save all the money you have. Learn to reinvest some so that it will yield more. It is like planting a seed or grain, nurturing and watering it to yield more fruits. This should be self-explanatory I think.

Which of these mistakes do you think people are guiltier of? Do you think there are other mistakes not included here? Please share your thoughts.

In order to start a business and make money you need investment which can be a form of credit or a loan from the bank. It's different from an ICO as the investor is not obliged to get his/her money back

Business is different than the ICO. Many of the ICO we have here would not be even seen in few months from now as those are just for the owners benefit in short term. Well in business as capital is required only people who are serious and want to do it for long  term do require the capital.

Trade is so much more than investing in ICOs so investors need to make the right investment if they do not want to fail in their trading. Trades are usually short-lived and yield very quickly while the first It takes time for the project to prepare and complete the conditions before it can officially trade, which can take from several months to a year.

Nice lecture. Everything you have mentioned above is true and there are many people who are like that. I do not save, but I want to. The problem is everyone is in need of money. Some want to establish a business, so they have to save money, and some want to save money just for entertainment. People differ from one to another. The good thing is to save money for necessary purposes, not just save it to waste it later on on drinks or cigarettes.

those mistakes were true and i have been experience such as number 8 that i was want to starting bussines but i don't have initial of money so i decide to borrow money through bank with high monthly of interest and everytime i was get profit from my bussines those money only can enough to pay my debts with eventually i was bankrupt because i spend too much money to pay interest for a long period of time

I am fond of some of this mistakes. I have now learnt my lessons. Most times, I spend money which I don't even intend to spend at that particular time most especially when I have a lot of it in my wallet or pocket. This is something many other people do commonly too they need to be mindful of.

The most common mistakes of other person is not saving their money in the bank. When a person holding much money on hand sometimes they buy all they want. It is like they dont control themselves in buying not so important things. They must know how to manage their money to be ready for emergency purposes.

This is absolutely true, but still it doesn't matter anymore as for the majority of the people here in our world are commonly fond of making mistakes and after that they will surely look for someone to rely on.
They don't actually see the consequences at first or let's just say they don't even give a single thought on what they're gonna do.
(Actually I'm also one of the pretty bastards mentioned above hahaha :) :) :) )
And I think, this common attitudes will never be gone.

they must make a list contain their daily need.if they dicipline with this list, they control their personal spending.no useless thing they buy.this is the easiest way can do.

I believe that people lose money not because they invest money in a wrong way but they don't invest their time in a right way. I still follow the principle of investing time before investing money and understanding something deeply. I have seen newbies doing the same mistake again and again and getting the same results. Knowledge and experience definitely help to avoid many mistakes not only in crypto but every other sector out there.

This mistakes are indeed living with us till date. People will never learn no matter how much you try to preach to them so that they can avoid common mistakes such as these.

Sometimes I wonder how easy it is for people to make this mistakes whereas they are quite avoidable. Some people hold money at times without having real plan for the money. often at times, they end up squandering the money on irrelevant things. The advice is simple, save up any money you don't want to spend immediately.

Mistake 5: Do not sign as a guarantor to anyone on financial matters unless you have enough or are willing to pay any misappropriation or money that may arise from the person’s misdeed. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. It can cause you problems.

I agree with everything except this part:


Normally hard working people don't have time for learning about investment. If they are professionals in what they are doing, they receive good payment for their job, but it's very hard to become professionals in other fields like investment, for example, at the same time. I think for those people it's either spending or saving, but investing is not a good option for them.

Very interesting write up. I wish people can actually avoid all the mistakes listed here. But it is almost impossible as one may be guilty of breaking at least one. But this would act as a voice of caution.

Mistake 5: Do not sign as a guarantor to anyone on financial matters unless you have enough or are willing to pay any misappropriation or money that may arise from the person’s misdeed. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. It can cause you problems.

Mistake 6: Do not consistently spend more than you earn or spend all that you earn. You may not have anything for the rainy days or at retirement.

Mistake 7: Do not spend more money on an item you can purchase same for less within the same neighborhood. It is not a wise spending.

Mistake 8: Never you borrow money that accrues interest to start a business. That will put you undue pressure as you will be working to service the debt and the accrued interest for a long period of time. It could be frustrating especially if things are not as perfect as you would have predicted.

Mistake 9: Do not starve your family or fail to take your child to the hospital SIMPLY because you want to save the money you have for the future. It might leave you in regrets.

Mistake 10: While it is good to save, it does not necessarily means you should save all the money you have. Learn to reinvest some so that it will yield more. It is like planting a seed or grain, nurturing and watering it to yield more fruits. This should be self-explanatory I think.

Which of these mistakes do you think people are guiltier of? Do you think there are other mistakes not included here? Please share your thoughts.

These are all food for thought. One really need to be careful in handling money.

These are all food for thought. One really need to be careful in handling money.

Mistake 1: Never lend someone money you are not willing to loose. When you lend someone money, always assume you may never get it back. If you feel that after lending the money out you may not be able to survive with what is left with you, then simply don’t lend the person.

Mistake 2: Whenever you have the opportunity to meet a wealthy or an influential person, never you ask for money, but rather ask for ideas or ways which you can grow your own business. That will make you a more purposeful person.

Mistake 3: Never you spend money you haven’t received or expecting. In other words, do not buy anything on credit because Mr. A has promised you certain money, or that Mr. B will pay you the debt he owes you. It might make you to run into debts should the source fails to pay. I hope you understand this point.

Mistake 4: For proper saving, do not attempt to save what is left after spending, but rather spend what is left after saving.

This is just true, most of family usually are being asked by a lot of people when they are in need, my family usually are one of the most kind family you will ever know and that is being taken advantage of. I need to send these quotations to my family.


I am from a third world country and this is really accurate. Usually, when someone just came back from other country because of work, they usually borrow money, even ask money to start drinking, it is not bad to give but most of the time, you must really know how to say "No" since you are going abroad to work and earn money for your family, that is not to be lent or to be borrowed unless you have money to be lent.

Mistakes number 1, 4 and 6 are really common, but the mistake number 6 is the one most people do not see until it is too late, people do not realize that life passes really fast, one day you are a young and healthy 20 year old and the next you are 60 and not so healthy anymore, people waste their youth not working as hard as they could thinking they can aways do it later, they do not understand the limitation of old age and that is why they do not save for their retirement.

Very interesting write up. I wish people can actually avoid all the mistakes listed here. But it is almost impossible as one may be guilty of breaking at least one. But this would act as a voice of caution.

I know everyone here wants to be rich before we joined bitcoin. And I know that the ultimate reason why most of us here joined bitcoin is to earn many money and become rich. But no matter how mucj we earn nor no matter have industrious we are to earn strive to become rich, nothing will ever happen of we continue to spend money unrightfully. We need to be well disciplined.

Most of the big holders are actually being hacked through phishing sites that reveal their selves unintentionally and most of this scam sites are on air drop campaigns.

First and second problems are very different. first yeah your knowledge and skills will help you in avoiding losses because you will know when is the right time to buy. and for the second problem. yeah there are many ico scam. then your knowledge and skills in choosing the right ico will be helpful

Mistake 6: Do not consistently spend more than you earn or spend all that you earn. You may not have anything for the rainy days or at retirement.

I am in favor for this mistake which is common for everyone. We should learn how to handle our money for the future. At least, we had already know the common mistake in handling money? Then we should avoid this mistake will happen.

I think this is a mistake that is being made by a lot of people in my country, of the people I know almost no one saves, they spend everything they have and most of the time even more and the worst part is that the additional money comes from credit cards and then they just make the minimum payments which is a terrible idea since you are basically just throwing your money away since it is impossible to pay your debt that way.

saving money in the bank is also a mistake. whereas the bank will take interest for the money saved, why do we do that? should save money on better investment assets; such as gold or bitcoin.

We can use that mistakes as a stepping stone and a learning for us to become more mature and more knowledgeable.

Well, you have some point, when you are trying to spend more than you earn it could possibly lead you to a bad situation for example, when you want to retire already, but you don't have enough savings for yourself, because you actually think your earnings in working will long last but it's totally not.

The most common mistakes especially made by people who suddenly became wealthy is excessive spending. I know a number of rich people and they all say the same thing: make sure that things you buy will be working for you. Like if you really want to buy an expensive car, make sure it's a rare, vintage model. Something that won't lose value over time. The worst thing you can do is buy a Ferrari that will cost a fortune to maintain and every paint scratch will make a dent in your wallet.

Not everyone is capable enough to borrow from a bank. There are a lot of requirements needed to borrow in a bank and those who don’t have collateral are deprived of the opportunity to borrow money. The sad part is that SMEs are sometimes forced to resort to borrowing from loan sharks even when they can’t afford it because they have no choice. I know that it’s a bad idea to lend money because there’s a huge chance that it won’t be returned but you can’t help but have some pity sometimes.

Everyone is capable of using money unwisely.Here are some pitfalls of using money unwisely.
1.Not making a budget
2.Spending it unwisely
3.Not saving
4.Investing in unsecured company or business
5.Using credit cards unwisely
6.Spending too much
7.Lending someone who does not pay
8.Buying expensive things
9. Not careful with scam
10.Not investing bitcoin

Saving money is also not a good idea, because there are some market processes like inflation rate, which will "eat" your savings each year. So, you can invest this money in low-risk asset,for example, a bank deposit.

Buying what we dont need to impress others who give no fuck about us.

Spending more than our net income.
Buying on credit.
Living a life that is fake to impress others.

Define real life so ?

Mistake 6 is very common among salary earners and low income earners. But if one can avoid these mistakes, a lot of problems will be avoided as well. But mistake 1 is very hard to avoid especially to family and friends.

Means that you are social climber, you are buying things that you don't need just to increase your lifestyle. You are pleasing others with what you are doing and not yourself.

And when you're done, you'll like the feedback of people whom sees you on how you are living through that lifestyle which is unnecessary that makes you spend much.

Mistake 6: Do not consistently spend more than you earn or spend all that you earn. You may not have anything for the rainy days or at retirement.

as I see so many millionaires are investing only in property by buying a house and renting it for a passive income which won`t have the break even point for more than 30 years, instead of opening new businesses with more jobs and opportunities for everyone.

as I see so many millionaires are investing only in property by buying a house and renting it for a passive income which won`t have the break even point for more than 30 years, instead of opening new businesses with more jobs and opportunities for everyone.

People do that because they do not want to take risks, the economies of the world are in a very bad shape this means that taking any risk now is a mistake, so everyone is looking for a safe place to park their money until that is over, people like us choose bitcoin while some others choose precious metals and some others like the people you are talking about choose real estate.

Why give someone money at all? It's a bankers ' business. They have lost their money many times and have many ways to claim debts. Individuals do not have such opportunities. It seems to me that point one needs to be replaced by the fact that doing their business in which you have experience and do not go to someone else's territory. You will always be defenseless there. Leave loans to bankers.

Saving money is also not a good idea, because there are some market processes like inflation rate, which will "eat" your savings each year. So, you can invest this money in low-risk asset,for example, a bank deposit.

Those suggestions are so good that I have literally read them few times in the row, it is happening with me not that often, so I am highly appreciating you developing those thoughts and they are amazingly wise, and simple at the same time.

This sounds like the 10 commandments to me. I believe anyone that keeps these 10 commandments may be on his way to financial freedom.

HHHMMMM! Wonderful post. I am guilty of the 3rd mistake. I usually budget for monies i had not received and somethimes squander the money before it reaches my account. Lessons learnt now...

My principle about money is just simple: do not spend more than what you can earn. By doing this, you can prevent getting bankrupt.

It is easy to give good advice to the cold mind: we all agree with what has been said.
But when we let ourselves be overcome by emotion and panic, we forget good advice and very often we behave absolutely stupidly.

Ha ha.. Now you are out of $300 as well as a good friend. It is very difficult to behave professionally with money if you are lending to a friend.
Just be thankful that you didn't lend your friend bitcoins, or money to buy bitcoins. They would have lost your money as well as blamed you for it.

The most common mistakes especially made by people who suddenly became wealthy is excessive spending. I know a number of rich people and they all say the same thing: make sure that things you buy will be working for you. Like if you really want to buy an expensive car, make sure it's a rare, vintage model. Something that won't lose value over time. The worst thing you can do is buy a Ferrari that will cost a fortune to maintain and every paint scratch will make a dent in your wallet.

Mistake 10: While it is good to save, it does not necessarily means you should save all the money you have. Learn to reinvest some so that it will yield more. It is like planting a seed or grain, nurturing and watering it to yield more fruits. This should be self-explanatory I think.

Mistake 1: Never lend someone money you are not willing to loose. When you lend someone money, always assume you may never get it back. If you feel that after lending the money out you may not be able to survive with what is left with you, then simply don’t lend the person.

Mistake 2: Whenever you have the opportunity to meet a wealthy or an influential person, never you ask for money, but rather ask for ideas or ways which you can grow your own business. That will make you a more purposeful person.

Mistake 3: Never you spend money you haven’t received or expecting. In other words, do not buy anything on credit because Mr. A has promised you certain money, or that Mr. B will pay you the debt he owes you. It might make you to run into debts should the source fails to pay. I hope you understand this point.

Mistake 4: For proper saving, do not attempt to save what is left after spending, but rather spend what is left after saving. Like you already know, human wants are insatiable, as long as you have the money, you will always have something to buy. Also, never you keep any money you are not going to spend on short term handy or within easy reach. It is best to keep it safe away.

Mistake 5: Do not sign as a guarantor to anyone on financial matters unless you have enough or are willing to pay any misappropriation or money that may arise from the person’s misdeed. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. It can cause you problems.

Mistake 6: Do not consistently spend more than you earn or spend all that you earn. You may not have anything for the rainy days or at retirement.

Mistake 7: Do not spend more money on an item you can purchase same for less within the same neighborhood. It is not a wise spending.

Mistake 8: Never you borrow money that accrues interest to start a business. That will put you undue pressure as you will be working to service the debt and the accrued interest for a long period of time. It could be frustrating especially if things are not as perfect as you would have predicted.

Mistake 9: Do not starve your family or fail to take your child to the hospital SIMPLY because you want to save the money you have for the future. It might leave you in regrets.

I agree that excessive spending is one of the most common mistakes being made by wealthy people, only I want to add that it extends beyond buying expensive things. I too know some rich people and what I hear from them is that they spend tremendous amounts on health services. I don't mean to offend all the doctors, but some of them are real crooks.  They have contracts with health care providers, pharmaceutical companies and drug-stores such as that they are paid if their patient buys a particular medication or pays for this or that service. Seeing a rich person they prescribe very expensive medicines and services that person doesn't need at all just to receive the commissions. Again, I'm not saying that all doctors are the same, but try to avoid this type by all means.

I'm very anti using credit card, but I committed the mistake of using credit the past few months because I didn't want to cash out any of my crytos. Incredible to hear me say that I will never do such a mistake again, because I was so anti using credit cards in the first place.

Sometimes when we have much we also spend too much. We forget to save and don't look on the future. It is very hard to differentiate our wants and needs. We do not want to be left behind with the updated on new gadgets. I think we should learn the value of savings and think twice before you buy something.

what you mentioned is very true and there are so many new traders who make this mistake, and hopefully this can help new traders to become good traders and get a lot of profits.

Anything mistake people make that keep them in poverty is to keep on complaining about their income being inadequate instead of sourcing for plan B source of income to supplement their major salary. Think big and work big.

Yes this is right. You may never get back. The money again. A person is an angel when he / she needs something that you have but he/she turns into a monster, into a devil when it is already the date to return the money. The one you lend is one who is angry.

I wish people can actually avoid all the mistakes listed here. But it is almost impossible as one may be guilty of breaking at least one. But this would act as a voice of caution.

For anyone aspiring to be rich, this are the kind of mistakes you must avoid in life.

I agree with everything except this part:


Normally hard working people don't have time for learning about investment. If they are professionals in what they are doing, they receive good payment for their job, but it's very hard to become professionals in other fields like investment, for example, at the same time. I think for those people it's either spending or saving, but investing is not a good option for them.

I know a number of rich people and they all say the same thing: make sure that things you buy will be working for you. Like if you really want to buy an expensive car, make sure it's a rare, vintage model. Something that won't lose value over time.

Why give someone money at all? It's a bankers ' business. They have lost their money many times and have many ways to claim debts. Individuals do not have such opportunities. It seems to me that point one needs to be replaced by the fact that doing their business in which you have experience and do not go to someone else's territory. You will always be defenseless there. Leave loans to bankers.

This is so true because we usually lend money to our family or friends and they will never pay it back.  LOL

Mistake 2: Whenever you have the opportunity to meet a wealthy or an influential person, never you ask for money, but rather ask for ideas or ways which you can grow your own business. That will make you a more purposeful person.

I think, regardless of amount of your income it is necessary trying to save some money for bad days. Even if our income is in range of avarage value, we have to try save one third of it. If our income lower than that, we had better to improve our skills to get a better job.

I agree, some people if they know that you can afford because you have money they borrow money from you but never pay back. This mistakes happen because you know the person already and you believe them but before lending money to someone let assure to pay you back.

Mistake 4: For proper saving, do not attempt to save what is left after spending, but rather spend what is left after saving. Like you already know, human wants are insatiable, as long as you have the money, you will always have something to buy.
