From gifts to gatherings, the holidays can put additional financial strain on your budget. Sound planning can help prevent your year-end shopping from causing financial stress. Put our insights to work for a festive and affordable season!<\/p>\n

1. Make your holiday budget bright and early<\/strong>
\nTake all your purchases into account, not just those under the tree, but also gifts for the host, food, beverages, and extra gas. Set money aside now instead of having to borrow and pay it back later.<\/p>\n

2. Make a list of people you want to give a gift to<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t feel like you must give gifts to everyone. Talk openly with friends and relatives about your intention to reduce your spending. Some may be relieved and want to do the same!<\/p>\n

3. Start your holiday shopping early<\/strong>
\nThe best deals aren\u2019t just on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Be on the lookout throughout the year. Knowing the regular price of items will help you spot good deals, like clearance and end-of-season sales.<\/p>\n

4. Give time<\/strong>
\nWe say that time is money, but money doesn\u2019t buy time. Swamped parents could really use a ready-to-eat meal or a day off while you watch the kids. Your busy friends might enjoy a night out or a craft project that strengthens your special bond. These acts of love and attention are always appreciated, regardless of the money spent.<\/p>\n

5. Plan and save for next year<\/strong>
\nPutting into practice good habits for the holiday season also means investing in a B\u00e2tirente TFSA<\/a> and taking advantage of automatic savings to save with each payday or each month. You can schedule pre-authorized debit directly through the\u00a0the form<\/a>\u00a0and submit it to the payroll department). You\u2019ll save more without even thinking about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
