\"biggest<\/a>

As this penny illustrates, even the United States Mint occasionally makes money mistakes.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not ashamed to admit I make mistakes<\/a>. After all, everybody<\/em><\/strong> screws up occasionally; for us humans, mistakes come with the territory. For example, I remember the time I decided it would be great fun to play Wii golf for eight consecutive hours. Unfortunately for me, my middle-aged left shoulder vehemently disagreed — after the fact, of course — and so I spent the next week popping acetaminophen tablets like they were M&Ms. I know.<\/p>\n

It can be even more costly when we make mistakes managing our personal finances; I know I still make them from time to time.<\/p>\n

Here are 50 of the biggest financial faux pas household CEOs make. How many of these apply to you?<\/p>\n

1. Being impatient. People of modest means should understand two important facts: 1) we cant have it all at once; and 2) saving money takes time<\/a> — sometimes lots of it.<\/p>\n

2. Failing to read contracts before signing on the dotted line.<\/p>\n

3. Using payday loans to cover temporary financial shortfalls.<\/p>\n

4. Giving your kids everything they desire<\/a>. It’s hard to get a feel for the value of a dollar when you grow up never wanting for anything.<\/p>\n

5. Signing your tax returns without reviewing them — even when they’re done by a tax professional.<\/p>\n

6. Buying a new car and selling it after only a few years. Buying new cars is costly because they can lose upwards of half their value by the time they are three years old.<\/p>\n

7. Not doing your research before purchasing extended warranties<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8. Going into debt to purchase things that will decrease in value.<\/p>\n

9. Maintaining memberships with monthly payments even though you no longer take advantage of them.<\/p>\n

10. Using credit card convenience checks that fill your mailbox. You can reduce the temptation by stopping those dubious credit card offers<\/a> and other annoying junk mail.<\/p>\n

11. Failing to track your income and expenses.<\/p>\n

12. Not saving part of your income for retirement. Try saving at least 10 percent from every paycheck; it’s never too late to start.<\/p>\n

13. Keeping cash in a low-interest earning savings account despite carrying a high-interest credit card balance. Use any savings over and above that needed for emergencies — and riding out a potential job loss — to pay off credit card debt.<\/p>\n

14. Loaning money to friends<\/a> and relatives.<\/p>\n

15. Taking a loan from your 401(k) retirement fund to pay for current expenses.<\/p>\n

16. Failing to negotiate your first salary. It’s the most important salary negotiation you’ll ever have simply because all of your future salary increases are ultimately based upon it.<\/p>\n

17. Investing without an exit strategy. Without one, it’s tough to recognize the right time to cut your losses — or take profits off the table.<\/p>\n

18. Buying more house than you need. A bigger house means more taxes, more interest, more maintenance, and more furniture. (Not to mention more housekeeping too.)<\/p>\n

19. Keeping a term life insurance policy longer than necessary. Life insurance is important<\/a> when you have a family that depends on your income; for most folks, its only necessary until their youngest child has left the nest, or finished college.<\/p>\n

20. Failing to maintain an emergency fund — or tapping your emergency fund for non-emergencies.<\/p>\n

21. Not increasing your 401(k) contributions every time you get a raise.<\/p>\n

22. Relying on Social Security<\/a> as your primary source of retirement income.<\/p>\n

23. Keeping your spouse in the dark regarding the household finances. Knowledge is power; allowing one spouse to handle all the household bills and investments in a vacuum can backfire in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

24. Failing to faithfully maintain your car. By following your car’s maintenance schedule and paying a little up front, you’ll reduce the risk of encountering more costly major issues down the road.<\/p>\n

25. Running up charges on your credit card that you can’t pay off in full at the end of each month.<\/p>\n

26. Paying the minimum on your credit card bills each month. Here’s a credit card fact<\/a>: making minimum payments each month will ensure you pay the maximum interest.<\/p>\n

27. Buying on impulse — or failing to shop around for the best deals.<\/p>\n

28. Carrying comprehensive and collision insurance on older cars; typically, the two combined account for almost half of the average auto insurance premium. Depending on the vehicle, you may be better off only carrying liability insurance.<\/p>\n

29. Spending a dollar to save a dime. One of the biggest examples of this is people who end up spending more than they save by driving miles out their way<\/a> in order to buy gasoline that’s a few cents per gallon cheaper.<\/p>\n

30. Assuming past performance guarantees future results.<\/p>\n

31. Succumbing to high-pressure sales pitches<\/a> and cold calls. Be firm and never<\/em> commit yourself to any type of hard sell without properly researching your available alternatives.<\/p>\n

32. Using a credit card to withdraw cash from an ATM machine. Such transactions typically come with onerous cash advance fees. Even worse, theres no grace period so interest begins accruing immediately.<\/p>\n

33. Failing to take advantage of coupons and internet promotional codes as often as possible.<\/p>\n

34. Failing to automate your finances (Part 1). Automatic paycheck deductions not only help ensure you’ll pay yourself first, they’re an easy and painless way to save for retirement.<\/p>\n

35. Failing to automate your finances (Part 2). Prepaying your utility bills, the mortgage and other loans online helps eliminate late fees and postage.<\/p>\n

36. Thinking you can ignore your monthly statements because you pay your bills online. Automating your finances is a smart money management technique but putting them on autopilot isnt.<\/p>\n

37. Throwing away perfectly good food. Believe it or not, I save $1400 annually by eating leftovers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

38. Overpaying for car insurance by keeping a low deductible. Remember, car insurance isnt intended to cover minor fender benders its designed to protect you from losses you cant afford to replace.<\/p>\n

39. Marrying the wrong person. When it comes to money management philosophy, it helps to be on the same page as your mate. In fact, financial compatibility<\/a> is a key predictor of whether a relationship will survive long term.<\/p>\n

40. Not fully understanding stocks and other financial instruments before investing in them.<\/p>\n

41. Refusing to treat your household like a business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

42. Neglecting to have a plan (such as a will or trust) that governs how your affairs will be managed after you become unable to manage them, whether due to death or disability.<\/p>\n

43. Failing to review and update your savings goals annually.<\/p>\n

44. Underestimating the the power of saying “no.”<\/a> It’s the best way of short-circuiting the urge to keep up with the Joneses.<\/p>\n

45. Not taking advantage of your employer’s flexible spending account. These accounts not only reduce your tax liability, but they also act as a de facto quasi-savings plan.<\/p>\n

46. Failing to optimize your 401(k) account every year. Diversifying and balancing your allocations will minimize your losses<\/a> in the event of a major market downturn.<\/p>\n

47. Spending more than you earn.<\/p>\n

48. Putting aside money for your kids’ college educations before taking care of your own retirement needs.<\/p>\n

49. Cosigning loans<\/a> — for anyone.<\/p>\n

50. Having a defeatist attitude. Because no matter how bad things get, those who are determined to succeed know that, over the long run, they control their own destiny. (Trust me: that even applies when you’re playing Wii golf.)<\/p>\n
