Winning the lotto, being left money by a relative or discovering a hoard of treasure in your garden aside, most of us could do with a bit more cash. Achieving this may be something that is more viable than you think too, especially if you prevent yourself from making the mistakes described in the post below. To that end, read on to find out what they are and how to avoid them, ensuring your purse and coffers remain as full as possible!
Not claiming benefits that you are owed
One reason that many people can find themselves short of cash is that they are not claiming money or benefits that they are rightfully owed. In fact, in many countries benefits are awarded for those that are parents, those on lower incomes, and even those that have illness or disability, something you can find out more about at ssa.gov/disability/.
