8 Common Financial Mistakes People Make in Their 30s

Your 30s often mean career growth, buying a home, or starting a family. But it’s also a decade where common mistakes can derail your future wealth.

Watch out for:

• Buying a car that loses value fast (and often with debt)

• Relying on credit cards or buy-now-pay-later schemes

• Forgetting to save at least 10% of income

• Chasing investment fads

• Skipping income protection or life insurance

• Thinking you’re invincible and not making a will

• Being too hard on yourself when mistakes happen

Small shifts in your 30s can lead to big financial gains down the track.
