Many middle-class people spend mindlessly on stuff that looks impressive but only ends up draining their savings and keeping them from growing their wealth.

One of the most damaging habits is spending more than you earn, said Christopher William , a CPA finance expert and founder of Balanced News Summary .

The main thing here is to steer clear of massive debts while amplifying your professional skills.
