Make this Holiday Season Stress Free
The holidays are great to spend time with those you love (safely) as well as show them your appreciation with beautifully wrapped gifts and delicious meals. However, we know the list of gifts and obligations gets full pretty quickly. We want to help you to enjoy this holiday season with as little stress as possible! That is why we are sharing our top 4 tips to save on the holidays and a holiday budgeting worksheet created by our partner GreenPath Financial Wellness.
- Set up a holiday budget. Keep a tight rein on your spending. Make a decision on how much you want to spend and keep track of each purchase. Most importantly, stick to it! Click here for the GreenPath Financial Wellness Holiday Budgeting Worksheet.
- Use apps that can save you money. Not only can some apps save you money, but they can also give you cash-back! Check out Honey, Rakuten and RetailMeNot to start saving.
- Gift homemade and heartfelt. DIY gifts are the most thoughtful. Taking your time to bake, make or even gift your time to someone is a great way to show how much you care.
- Open a Christmas savings account. Getting a head start on saving for the holidays will ease your stress immensely! Open a Club Account with your Credit Union and title it as “Christmas Savings” to keep you on track all year.
Wishing you a stress free and happy holiday season!
