Another huge mistake that couples make is ignoring credit card bills. Obviously, this can be a problem since credit card debt can grow so fast that couples can be caught unaware. The end product is that the debt becomes a huge deterrent in their plans. This is especially a pain when one of the people in the marriage keeps overspending. Credit card bills should be one of the couple’s top priorities.
