Everyone makes money mistakes — the key is to learn from them and do better next time.
At PayCredit, we believe financial growth doesn’t just come from earning more — it comes from learning more. That’s why we asked:
“What’s one money mistake you’ll NEVER make again?”
Here are some honest answers from everyday people like you:
“Taking loans with no repayment plan.”
"I used to borrow from anyone and everyone without a real idea of how I’d pay them back. It ruined relationships. Now, I only borrow when I’ve calculated my repayment clearly." — Chiamaka, Lagos
“Spending like I already got paid.”
"Once I know salary is coming, I start spending in advance. I’ve learned to wait until the money actually lands. No more 'future spending' for me." — Tope, Ibadan
“Ignoring my savings to impress people.”
"Parties, clothes, trips... I burned through my emergency fund trying to keep up. Never again. Now, savings first, lifestyle later." — Rose, Abuja
“Using the wrong lenders.”
"High interest rates, hidden charges... I’ve learned to check the terms before collecting any loan. That’s why I stick with PayCredit now — everything is clear upfront." — Tunde, Port Harcourt
