Everything you do today affects you in the future. If you exercise and eat healthy now, in the future you will probably have less medical problems. If you save your money and don’t buy that impulse purchase today, you can use that money for a vacation later. In fact, it’s especially true in the world of finance. Smart saving and frugal spending now will pay off big later! However, mistakes you make now can still do damage to future-you. Check out this post by Haniya Rae at Bustle. These are things that can prevent you from getting a mortgage later:
-Not saving for a down payment
-Having a bad credit score and doing nothing to improve it- pay those bills on time!
-Not having a credit score at all
-Having too much debt
-Not getting pre-approved
-Not working at the same place long enough- 2 years!
