Limit Debt
Borrowing can be advantageous sometimes (for example, when acquiring an asset) but can also lead to a financial setback.

A budget helps prevent you from spending above your means and promotes savings. You need a budget method to make yourself disciplined.
A budget method sample is ’50/30/20′ where 50% serves as your net income, 30% goes for miscellaneous expenses, and 20% for savings/debt payment.
Plan/Save for Retirement
