Christmas Specials

I’m Miriam Neff and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan with Wise Women Managing Money.

Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means Christmas advertising is already all around us.  Ads pop up on our computer screens, special displays in stores, emails from every store we have shopped in or ordered from.

V It’s a good time to plan ahead.  Otherwise, impulse shopping at the last minute will be expensive. There are easy ways to cut temptation in this area, and more subtle ways.  We know ‘hanging out’ in stores is a recipe for an impulse buy.  We literally bombarded from every electronic angle:  TV, Movies, Billboards, emails, pop up ads, you name it. Choose not to be ‘notified’ of sales.

M Besides financial wise decisions, early planning spares last minute stress.
