Topic: Holiday spending tips from Rachel Cruze:
Know your boundaries
Set a budget
Make a detailed list of who you’re buying for and how much you’re spending.
Pay cash and once it’s gone, it’s gone!
Don’t get pressured
It’s easy to let our culture drive our decisions.
If you don’t have the money, don’t buy it.
Your kids won’t be traumatized if they don’t get the latest “it” items.
Make it a family affair
Include your kids in the budgeting process so they know what to expect.
Find an organization you and your family can donate time one Saturday.
Consider encouraging them to buy gifts with their own money.
