Before you make your Christmas shopping list...
Make a holiday spending list.
Not just gifts.
Think about:
π Gifts
π½οΈ Food
βοΈ Travel
π Hosting
π Decorations
ποΈ Events
π Cards and postage
π Teacher/host gifts
π° Charitable giving
π Holiday clothes
β¦and all those little expenses that somehow add up to a LOT.
The goal isn't to spend less on everything.
It's to know what you're actually saying YES to.
Because βI forgot about that expenseβ is a terrible holiday budgeting strategy. π
Save this post and start your holiday spending list before you start shopping. Your future self will thank you. π
