“A budget tells us what we can’t afford, but it doesn’t keep us from buying it.” – William Feather
It’s still pumpkin season, but now is the perfect time to start making plans for the end of the year. The holidays can be expensive, so get a jump on your holiday budgeting by starting now. Check out the following prevalent sources of spending in November and December and see where you can make some adjustments:
- Decorations – Hold off on buying anything new until after the holiday when everything goes on sale.
- Entertaining – If you’re hosting a party, make it a potluck to ease the financial burden. When attending, bring affordable hostess gifts.
- Travel – Make your holiday travel a road trip if you can, otherwise buy plane tickets early.
- Gifts – Get the most bang for your buck by shopping at Black Friday sales. DIY gifts often cost less than store-bought.
