Don’t Let Drinking Spill Over Into Your Finances

It’s late on a Saturday morning and you wake up to discover that the $120 you had in your wallet the night before is missing. After thinking for a while, it all comes back to you—you spent that $120 the night before when you were out drinking with your friends. You vow to never spend that much again on drinks, but the next weekend you find yourself doing it again.

Does this sound like a typical weekend experience for you? If so, your alcohol consumption could result in financial problems. In addition to spending too much on drinks, the effects of your partying could spill into your personal or work life. For example, too much late-night partying could lead to tardiness at work, low productivity or accidents, which could end up costing you your job.
