8 Middle Class Money Mistakes

If you were going to automatically pay an extra 15% for every item you buy, would you still buy it? Probably not. But you spend an extra 15% (or more, depending on your interest rate) when you buy items with credit cards and don’t pay the balance in full each month. If you are paying more than the price for what you buy, checkout our debt payoff calculators below.
A lot of financial mistakes can be avoided if you just stop, think and evaluate the difference between wants and needs. It’s not glamorous and it may not be fun but steady plodding keeps you on track: Proverbs 21:5, tells us, “The plans of the diligent end in profit, but those of the hasty end in loss.”

How Much Debt is Too Much?

Do you get a sick sinking feeling when you think about the amount of debt you have? Are you worried that you’ll never be able to dig your way out of debt? We know how that feels. We had a mortgage, LOTS of credit card debt, two car payments, and no savings. Needless to say, our marriage was not a happy place to be.
Being in debt is like playing with matches. You know you will be able to blow the match out when the flame gets too close to your fingers, but sometimes you get burned. That’s what happens when your debt load gets overwhelming or there is an unexpected financial emergency. Sooner or later you will get burned.

Get Real About Your Finances

When we really want something, it is easy to deceive ourselves into buying it, whether we can afford it or not.
When it comes to your personal finances, have you been totally honest with yourself or are you fooling yourself by not being real? Consider the ways you can fool yourself:
- Do you acknowledge the difference between needs and wants?
- Are you yearning for a certain item because once you buy that item you will finally be happy?
- Have you convinced yourself that you don’t make enough money to save for an emergency fund or retirement?
- Are you a generous giver or do you think your salary is not big enough for you to be generous?
Any of these attitudes can justify handling money in a way that does not honor God.
