Ahh yes, the holidays. Everything costs MONEY!! Here are a few things that may help make it easier:
REVIEW LAST YEAR’S EXPENSES
PLAN YOUR TOTAL SPENDING
OUTLINE YOUR SPENDING - GIFTS, TRAVEL, DECOR, PARTIES, ETC..
FIND DEALS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR SPENDING
BE PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED
SAVE EARLY (maybe next year?)
I love the outlining your spending idea. Once you see it on paper, it puts everything in perspective and you can make changes as you go..
