How you manage your money is so important, but it can also get kinda overwhelming. There's a lot to keep track of, and sometimes it's hard to tell if your money habits are ~healthy~ or not.
Here are 10 common money mistakes that could be secretly sabotaging your bank account — plus some great ways to avoid making them.
1. Spending without a plan.
2. Not budgeting because your income fluctuates month to month.

3. Going overboard on "buy now, pay later" purchases.
4. Grocery shopping without a list can be an especially big money drain.
5. Paying too much for prescription drugs can take a big bite out of your cash flow.

6. Not taking full advantage of your health insurance benefits.
7. Not putting away some savings every month could be setting yourself up for future debt.
