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.

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.
