Title: 10 Money Errors Pakistani Youth Keep Making (and how to correct them)
Bruv: Let's be honest for a moment; most of us grew up with financial advice other than bacha lo or saray paisay maa ko de do. But 2025 is approaching, and it's time we unlearn some bad behaviors.
Ten financial errors Pakistani young people keep making are listed below along with what you should do instead if you don't want to be impoverished forever.
1. Living Without a Budget
Error: spending like a boss and then weeping at monthend.
Fix: Use a free program such Wallet, Goodbudget, or just Google Sheets. Understand the course of your paisa.
2. Spending all of your freelance income or salary
Mistake: The greatest lie we tell ourselves is "I'll start saving next month".
Fix: Save 1020 percent first, then use the rest. Turn around your thinking: Spend first, save later.
3. Handling Every Eidi or Bonus as FreeforAll Money
Fault: Wasting PUBG UC and shawarmas gifts.
Fix: Save 50% of that bonus or put it towards your emergency fund.
4. Zero Emergency Fund
Blunder: One broken phone screen and you are broke once more.
Fix: Start with Rs. 100 per week and build an emergency fund of at least Rs. 30,000.
5. Falling for Get Rich Quick Schemes
Error: Giving some shady Forex guru Rs. 5,000 on WhatsApp.
Fix: It likely is too good to be true. Keep to actual channels such Fiverr, Upwork, or acquiring a skill.
6. Spending to Impress People You Don't Even Like
Error: Purchasing pricey shoes, phones, or watch only to appear wealthy.
Fix: Make an impression on your future self. Purchase what you need; not what looks cool on Instagram.
7. No Early Investing
Error: Thinking investing is only for rich people.
Fix: Apps like KTrade, Sarmayakar, and even Meezan's Asaan account let you begin with as little as Rs. 1,000.
8. Not Paying Attention to Side Businesses
Error: Relying on just one source of income.
Fix: Start a microbusiness, sell templates, teach online, freelance. Additional money provides extra freedom.
9. Not Following Your Debts
Error: Borrowing Rs. 1,000 here, Rs. 500 there, and forgotten about it.
Correct: Write it down. Pay it back quickly. Over sloth, don't destroy relationships.
10. Awaitting Miracles
Error: Believing one day you will simply become famous.
Repair: Begin immediately. Begin small. Rs. 500 saved today is preferable to Rs. 50,000 you hope to save sometime.
Final Thoughts: Your Wallet, Your Guidelines
Look, bruv money need not be complex. Ignoring it, though, would keep you stuck.
