Six months, six weeks or six days. We all know when the holidays will be here.

Does that make you feel uneasy because holiday spending stresses you out?

When I work with clients on their budgets, we come up with a list of expenses that happen only once a year but can be tough to cash flow in the month they happen. I recommend coming up with a holiday budget and then dividing by the number of months until the holidays. The monthly amount is budgeted for and moved into savings so when it comes time to shop for gifts, the money is already there.

Having a debt hangover in January takes away some of the joy of the season. Planning ahead can prevent that debt hangover.

The majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Financial Coaching helps break the cycle and sets you up to live on less than you make, build wealth, and plan for your financial goals.

These days, pulling up to the gas pump, or buying weekly groceries can be an alarming experience. Now more than ever, it’s critical to understand where your money goes. And the best way to do that, is to create a budget.

Having a monthly budget means you tell each dollar where to go rather than watching your money fly out unchecked. It’s the difference between feeling helpless in the face of price increases and standing up to take control of where and how your hard-earned money is spent.

There are plenty of budget apps you can utilize to create and keep a budget. I recommend – and use -the free version of the EveryDollar app. It’s easy to navigate and will give you the feedback needed to keep you on track. But it doesn’t even need to be that fancy. Pen and paper works great too!

The important thing is to start. I’m happy to answer any questions on budgeting to help you get started. Use the QR Code in the ad below to schedule a free consultation.

The holidays will be here before you know it. Did reading that create a little panic?

Trying to find the perfect gift is stressful and spending more than you should just magnifies that. Take a page from Santa’s playbook and create a list. And check it twice! Include the price you want to spend, then add up all the gifts and make sure the total is within your budget.

Going into debt for holidays is a great way to take the joy out of the holidays.

Want to talk about taking the financial stress out of your life? I’m ready to help.

There are three things you can do with money: spend it, save it, and give it.

During the holidays, there is certainly a lot of spending! Between overspending and the guilt about overspending, money issues can drain the joy out of the season quickly. Keep your spirits bright by making a budget. Used correctly, a budget not only keeps you on track but also gives you permission to spend – guilt free!

Dreaming of stress-free spending? I’m here to help.
