10 money Traps To Avoid In Your 20s
Now that you’re in your 20s, you’re moving into a different realm. 
These are the years to firmly establish yourself in your career and begin climbing the corporate ladder -- or perhaps breaking out to forge your own way as a millionaire. You may also be thinking about building a life with a partner, having kids and planning for your long-term future.
This is also the period when many fall into major money pitfalls that sap their finances for years -- or even decades -- to come. With so much going on with work and life, it’s easy to focus on the here-and-now and put aside your bigger financial goals. 
However, this will leave you scrambling later in life. Think of this article as a map to help you bypass those monetary gaffes.
Avoid these 10 money mistakes in your 20s, and you will set yourself up for financial freedom in your 30s and beyond.
#1 Carrying Too Much Credit Card Debt
If you don’t pay your cards off every month or, worse, if you only make the minimum payment, you will end up paying for those items several times over. 
Credit cards are infamous for their fees, interest rates and hidden rules in their fine print, and it will be difficult for you to catch up once you fall behind.
#2 Not Diversifying Your Income
Think of this as a chance to broaden your interests or explore different areas. There are tons of ways to build a second career or money-making venture on the side.
Having more than one source of income means more money to invest and save for future projects.
#3 Not Having A Financial Plan When Moving In With A Partner
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is not having an honest and open discussion about finances, budgeting, debt and spending habits before you take the plunge and merge your lives. 
It may feel awkward to have this conversation, but it’s important you understand where you are each at financially and how your monetary habits may differ. Getting on the same page will help keep money concerns from overshadowing and affecting your relationship.
#4 Putting Off Planning For Retirement
It may be hard to focus on retirement when it’s so far off, but your 20s and 30s are the best time to begin growing your nest egg. 
You should be taking full advantage of your employer’s 401(k) plan -- especially if they have a matching program.
#5 Overspending On Housing Expenses
Think of it like this: if you take home $1,000 in income, but spend half on a house, you only have about $33 a day to pay for all the rest of your expenses -- not to mention saving for upcoming purchases or investments
#6 Failing To Plan For The Worst
Think of this as protection against needing to pull out your investments early or dipping into savings you worked so hard to accumulate.
#7 Not Getting Life Insurance When Its Cheap
One important rule of thumb: the younger you are when you buy a life insurance policy, the less you’ll pay. 
The healthier you are, the cheaper and easier it is to get coverage. 
Jump on this bandwagon while you can. 
#8 Not Saving Money For Upcoming Expenses
a little forethought will go a long way toward making these goals a reality -- plus reducing your stress over finances. 
Set up multiple savings accounts to start setting aside money for specific purchases. 
#9 Overspending On Kids
Kids don’t need Gucci
#10 Expecting A Standard Of Living Beyond Your Reach
Many of us have gotten caught up in “keeping up with the Joneses.” But this game isn’t sustainable and doesn’t result in long-term happiness. 
Trying to keep up with someone else’s standards isn’t going t
