3 Zodiacs Who Are Terrible At Managing Their Money

Handling money in a logical and competent manner is one of the most important things a person can ever hope to master. While it’s difficult – perhaps even boring – learning about the ins and outs of personal finance, having a deeper understanding of your financial background can change your entire life for the better. 

Whether saving for a lavish trip to Iceland or setting aside enough money to retire early, certain people seem to possess an almost preternatural knowledge of economics, gaining financial independence at an extraordinarily young age. Others, unfortunately, struggle to determine the proper time to save and the proper time to spend, maintaining a terrible gasp of their finances throughout their individual lifetimes.

Libra

Your generosity is often your downfall, Libra, causing you to splurge on items that immediately benefit other people. When you head out for a night of casual drinking with your drinks, you insist on picking up the tab, swatting away every other hand that reaches for the check. Wandering around department stores during the holiday season, your eyes quickly gravitate towards the biggest, most expensive gifts for your loved ones, leading you to push past the discounted sale rack at the front of the store. It doesn’t matter how meager your last paycheck was or that your boss denied your most recent request for a raise – you’re always going to use the money on hand to better the lives of everyone around you, typically to your own detriment. 

Sagittarius

You want to enjoy life, Sagittarius, whether that means eating at the most elite restaurants, jetting off to exotic new locations, or pursuing hobbies you wouldn’t ever have imagined exploring before. The only problem is that, more often than not, the finer things in life are expensive, with your worldly travels regularly costing you an arm and leg. But at the end of the day, you don’t necessarily mind the uncertain state of your bank account or how underfunded your retirement savings account is. After all, life is meant to be lived in the present moment, allowing you to enjoy every delicious meal and exciting vacation that comes your way.

Aquarius

You’re a hard worker, Aquarius, tallying up immeasurably large numbers working in the office as you complete one professional assignment after the next. Taking the age-old adage of “work hard, play hard” as your personal mantra, you use the wealth you’ve built up to feed your personal interests. If you see a pricey laptop at Best Buy, you shrug and say, “Why not? I can afford it.” If you’re scrolling on Amazon and see an antique candelabra you think would look great in your apartment, you bite your lip and add it to your cart, calling it a small treat for yourself. You might have a mammoth-sized salary and capture more bonuses than most, but your constant expenses have a way of piling up, depleting any cash flow you have streaming in.
