Holidays are coming up, and it means we are getting ready for that HUGE spend. Though all this is happy spending, it can be stressful if you are not prepared for it.
But how do you prepare for all that spending? There are very simple ways to do it.
First of all, make a list of all the spending you are going to do. Having a list of things you are going to buy can make it easier for you to plan pooling money for them. Sometimes, we go overboard in buying stuff and end up spending more money than we should. A list can help you to keep things clear.
Lookout for early deals or discounts which come up once in a while. Even if it's too early to start buying stuff, if you can get a great deal, then you can save a lot of money. Money saved is money earned. For example, I snapped up a toy watch for my niece which was on a killer deal in August as a Christmas present.
Finally look for ways to earn extra money to pool up that spending fund. There are many ways you can earn money quickly like selling and renting stuff, pet sitting, surveys, joining focus groups. All these things can give a big boost to your holiday fund. Just remember to choose the ones that are worth your time.
Holiday spending need not be a stressful time. If you plan a little early, you can enjoy your holiday shopping and give great presents to family.
