4. Overwhelming debt – This is the cause of buying things that is beyond your means.  You tend to buy things on credit because you think you can pay it all with your income, sad to say some people may have over estimate their capacity to buy things.  When these credits piles up on you and your income is not coping up with your expenses suddenly you will find yourself in a hole that you yourself dug.

5. Not committing to self improvement – Stagnant people in terms of their career and self improvement usually falls for wrong financial decisions.  Without the drive for self improvement, you don’t have the reason to acquire wealth.
