You really cannot know all about handling everything that entails money and finance, which is why you need to seek the help of a financial advisor to help you make good financial decisions.
If you can't afford a financial advisor, talk to someone who has an idea about the financial world.

Set right priorities when it comes to your budget. If what you want to get is not in your budget and you are also getting to your budget limit, then don't spend that money on frivolities.
5. Having no retirement plan
