Saving Money for the Holidays

Do you spend a lot of money for the holidays?  Well this article is going to teach about how to save money for the holidays.

Kids?

Do you usually go out and buy all the gifts, decorations, and cards?  Most times when you do that you spend a ton of money, right. So, why not get your kids involved!  When you go shopping for decorations you try to save as much money possible. So you go when there is a sale. But did you ever think that going shopping on a sale day means you have to wait in line for two hours, then you finally get out and you say “Oh I got the wrong lights.”, or would you just rather have your kids make the most meaningful decorations that you would most likely keep longer than those silly lights.  Same goes for the cards and gifts.

What about Working?

Do you have someone else rake your leaves and shovel your snow?  Well this is a new year.  This year get you and your family to rake the leaves and shovel the snow. And a way to earn a little money is to go around the neighborhood and ask if they need help raking their leaves or shoveling your snow.

How about a Budget?

When you go shopping do you use your credit card?  Actually most people take a credit card and use it in a frivolous way, which means they do not stop and think about how much money they really are spending. So this year do not use your credit card and make a budget so that you spend too much.

                      How?

It is a new year so set a goal and to achieve that goal make a plan like I am only going to spend this much money on this day.  How are you going to save money?
