You buy extremely expensive clothes from boutique or malls because you want to look good. Not a bad idea though but take time to think of its impact on your finance? Are there places to get it at a better price that will save you more money?

CONSUMABLE HABITS

PEER PRESSURE
Peer group have impact in your finance and in the expense, you accumulate because you want to act like them and want to be in the same caucus and its making you uncomfortable in your leisure time and putting you in sober reflection.
With this peer group, you develop the same mindset and lifestyle, and might all be struggling financially leading a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle.
LOAN
Unnecessarily collecting and accumulating loans without checking the interest rates and penalties involved for late payment incur more expenses and leads to huge debt. You don’t check into what you collect and with time, you realize you keep struggling to pay the debt.
INNOVATION AND REPLACEMENT
You accumulate expenses because you are freak on technology or the latest product you quickly offloading the what you bought not up to three to six months ago to replace with the latest one and you don’t truly take note of this.
LOCATION
Where you dwell can affect your finance and make you incur expenses because it might be a high- standard area where things are expensive and the rent around there is also expensive. You notice yourself struggling financially every month as if you find yourself in secret pain.
