The Worst Mistakes You Could Make With Your Money, Part 2

This week’s episode is the second installment of The Worst Mistakes You Could Make With Your Money. Last week, we addressed money mistakes to avoid in your 20s and 30s. This week, we share the money moves that are important to make in your 40s, 50s, and 60s.

As you advance in age, the weight of your financial decisions become heavier. But it’s that not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, knowing what can derail your financial progress can serve as excellent guideposts on your path to financial independence.
