Misguided Financial Advice

Many individuals receive well-intentioned but outdated financial advice from sources like parents, family, or societal norms. This advice can lead to decisions that may not align with one's goals and values. Examples include the belief that renting is throwing away money, the idea that credit cards should never be used, the pressure to buy a home early, and the assumption that combining finances with a partner is always the right choice.
