    How to Create and Stick to Your Holiday Budget

    If we’re being honest we can say: it’s the worst time of the year for budgets. With the rising cost of toys, books, food and decorations, it’s no wonder that January 1st comes with the need to put huge restrictions not only on our eating habits, but those of our spending as well. Not this year. Repeat it with me: Not this year. Did you actually say it out loud? Did you actually mean it? If not, let’s try it out for a third time just to make sure. NOT THIS YEAR. This year we will stick with the holiday budget and the allotted amount of money we have for the festivities. This year we will recognize that all of the efforts we’ve made so far this year don’t have to go by the wayside in order to impress those around us. This year will be different. And let me tell you…it’s a tall order for the weeks ahead when critical family members show up to dinner or your kids are waiting for that perfect toy that they will play with once and never use again. But even so, it is possible and today I’m going to show you how. So, if you’re ready to embrace the upcoming holiday season with a new perspective - one that doesn’t leave you struggling financially in January, then this episode is for you.
