Plan ahead of the Holiday
💰 Plan Before You Spend
Decide how much you can comfortably spend on gifts, food, and decorations. Setting a clear limit helps avoid impulse purchases that add up fast.
📝 Create a Holiday Budget
List everyone you’re buying for and assign a spending limit for each. Don’t forget small costs like wrapping paper, postage, and party supplies. Tracking even small expenses keeps your plan on track.
🎁 Get Creative
Thoughtful, homemade, or experience-based gifts can be more meaningful than expensive items. Secret Santa swaps or group gifts are fun and budget-friendly.
📅 Start Saving Early
After the holidays, consider a holiday savings account. Small monthly deposits can make next year’s celebrations stress-free.
