Financial Literacy Month
The warning signs of financial trouble are everywhere, if you know where to look. Knowing what they are and how to recognize them can be the difference between quickly recovering from one or two bad months and being trapped in a months or years-long battle with debt.
Don’t let these unproductive habits and behaviours derail your financial future. If you notice any of these symptoms in your own life, you may need to take immediate steps to fix them and take the exit ramp off the road to poor financial health.
