Financial planning experts tell us that our capacity to achieve financial growth is huge, but there are some things that make us fall into financial uncertainties that slow our growth. Sometimes, lack of planning can sabotage our own efforts, as I can explain this due to some struggles I encountered on pressure washing business. If you do not have a well-thought plan, and you are constantly lamenting, you are probably going to sabotage your financial progress.
Here are top of the things sabotaging your financial growth.
Lifestyle inflation
Increased income does not necessarily make you have an improved financial situation. They say more money may lead to more problems. If you are not careful, as your wallet grows, so does your spending. Lifestyle inflation may sabotage your financial goals in that you do not actually become richer. However, your debts and toys become more expensive, and stay in the same level or even worse.
Failure to Sacrifice
Sometimes, we face a lot of financial difficulties and instead of taking the right action and addressing the situation, we engage ourselves in ridiculous spending that worsens the situation. A good example is how some people buy ridiculously expensive car while at the same time facing massive problems making regular payments. When we have to make certain progress in life, we must be willing to make certain sacrifices.
Not Addressing Problems
Sometimes, when we are faced with huge financial problems, we tend to bury our heads in the sand and pretend problems will go away. Days and weeks may pass and the problem may become worse. If you do not take action on the current problems you are facing, there is not magic that will happen and things will still remain the same or worse. You need to deal with the issues that are sabotaging your financial growth.
Living a Fake Life
One of the reasons people do not progress financially is because they try too hard to keep up with the lifestyle of their neighbors and friends, and this might be their biggest undoing. Having friends and others in your circle who live large can make it much harder on your finances. If you end up in a situation whereby you are spending too much than what you can comfortably afford, you are bound to suffer. When it comes to money, try and avoid comparing yourself to others and do your level best to live within your means.
Living in Debt
One of the biggest issues sabotaging your financial progress is using debt as an extension of your income. A lot of people think debt is evil, however, it is possible to use debt to your advantage, especially if you are using it to start or expand your business. However, debt becomes a problem when you use it without a careful plan. Instead of using debt as an extension of your income, do not live in fantasy and instead use debt sparingly. When it comes to shopping, avoid impulse buying of anything that comes to your sight.
Many are the times we have set goals and abandoned them. In the beginning, we are overly motivated, but with time, this motivation wanes away. We get caught up, frustrated, stuck, overworked, overloaded and eventually distracted. It can be hard to stay focus especially when we have so much going on in our mind. I know these facts because it was always the case for a friend at 
If you are serious about the goals you have written, create a mission statement. Companies generate mission statements all the time, and you are not different. The mission statement helps you in directing your time and energy towards all things that matter. The mission statement explains your values, your beliefs and all the things you have set forth to do differently from others. A mission statement helps you to avoid getting distracted.
Most of us are aware of how CCTV cameras can help us feel more secure. They act as a deterrent to would-offenders and also provide some comfort and evidence in case the worst happens. For CCTV cameras to work, they must be properly configured. If the cameras are badly configured and positioned ineffectively, they may not be able results. You do not want your investment in security cameras to go down the drain, hence there is a need to ensure the cameras are properly fixed.
The network video recorder or the digital video recorder needs to be cleaned. This area gathers dust and dirt within a short period of time.
