1. “Money Slips from My Hands”

To such people, keeping money with them and in the wallet is a tedious task. Such people can’t hold on to money for a long time. To them, shopping is like an addiction. People of this personality are often called shopaholics. To them, even the slightest cue of shopping triggers a major urge to spend money and but things. These people are an absolute joy to malls but credit card bills are a nightmare.

What to Do: First things first – take a deep breath and wait till the urge to spend subsides. On a more serious note, you must chalk out a financial plan. Calculate the number of credit cards you need and chuck the unnecessary ones. You must also keep a daily account of all expenditure. Also, do not carry too much money or credit cards on you all the time. Ask your family and friends to help you in this task.
