Average Adult Commits 8 ‘Financial Fails’ A Month
If you ever feel like you’re barely making a dent in paying off your credit card debt, it might be that you’re being more careless than you realize in how you’re managing your money. A recent survey of 2,000 American adults found that the typical person commits an average of 91 “financial fails” per year or eight “financial fails” per month. The most common areas of overspending were eating out instead of cooking at home (54%); online shopping (36%), and buying clothes and shoes (28%). According to the data, the eight “financial fails” per month added up to $315.16 that could have otherwise been saved. COMMON BAD FINANCIAL DECISIONS
