Save money during the holidays – these simple tips will teach you how!

What do the holidays have to do with personal finance? Plenty, it turns out. It’s easy to spend a little more than expected with the hope creating special memories with family and friends.

In fact, it’s not uncommon to overspend during the holidays. Christmas has become very commercialized, with decorations popping up in stores earlier every year. Clever marketing often entices shoppers to spend more than planned. Once January rolls around and credit card bills start piling up, you may feel pressured to put a hold on retirement savings in order to cover your bills.

However, there’s nothing wrong with saving money during the holidays. You can learn to avoid the stress of overspending and protect your retirement savings by following simple ways to save money during the holidays.

A money mistake can slow retirement savings and make the path to financial freedom challenging.

When it comes to money mistakes, my husband and I have made some big ones. Yet, there was one money mistake in our past that I don’t regret. We have nothing to show for it except a memory, and hope that things worked out for the best.

It’s been 12 years since we embarked on a journey to adopt a baby. Ultimately, we did not get to bring our baby home with us. Yes, I still think of him as “our” baby. Jonathan never really belonged to us, but it felt like it for a while. His memory is forever etched in our hearts and we hope the best for him.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. – Proverbs 3:3
