7 Common Money

Issues People Face

Here are some of the most common money issues people face, and some ideas for how to manage them–or, even better, avoid them in the first place.

Burst with Arrow

High Credit Card Debt

Thanks to high interest rates, items you charge on a credit card and don’t pay off right away end up costing quite a bit more.

Not Having an Emergency Fund

Setting money aside in an emergency fund may seem like a luxury for those who are struggling to meet everyday expenses.
