Avoiding Holiday Overspending During the Holiday Season – Tips from Financial Expert Stacey Tisdale
Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) December 09, 2011
With lingering effects of the recession and the holiday season fast approaching, it is crucial for Americans to find a way to manage holiday shopping without overspending. That is why Financial Journalist & Author Stacey Tisdale spoke with NewsWatch to offer her very own “Survival Guide to the Holidays.”
Some tips from Stacey are:
Shop Smarter – Go Shopping with a list and stick to it – think about the price range for each person in advance.
Don’t Bust the Budget – Avoid “borrowing” money from savings accounts. The holidays are not an emergency and Americans should work from what you have. Prepaid cards are a practical alternative, and they are safer than cash. They also help keep budgets in tact.
