Common finance mistakes
What we see people get wrong most often — and the correction.
- Comparing interest rates instead of APR
- APR folds in points and lender fees — Regulation Z requires it for a reason. Compare APR to APR.
- Budgeting principal and interest only
- Add taxes, insurance, PMI and HOA. PITI is what you actually pay each month.
- Extending the term to lower the payment
- A longer term almost always increases total interest. Check the lifetime cost, not just the monthly figure.
- Ignoring credit utilization while paying down balances
- Utilization is roughly 30% of a FICO score. Keep it low even while the balance falls.
