Seasonal Spending Survival Strategies

The Holiday season can be overwhelming and costly. According to NerdWallet, the National Retail Federation has estimated Americans can spend $1,000 on average for holiday related purchases and that does not include travel. Giving the perfect gift or cooking a holiday meal or trimming the tree can add up in expenses. Planning now will help alleviate undue stress and the financial reckoning to come. Developing a budget for anticipated expenses, tracking your spending and research are a few of the strategies you can use. Join the workshop to learn other methods to cure debt hangover and keep financial stability through the season.
