‘Thank You For Understanding’: How To Stop People Pleasing This Holiday Season

Overspending

 

You’re invited to three white elephant parties, asked to participate in two secret Santa exchanges, and requested to go in on a pricey gift with friends for another friend. Before you know it, you’ve gone way over your holiday spending budget. Set your budget. Purchase the gifts for the people who really matter to you, and then assess what’s left over for the secret Santa exchanges. It is okay to say, “I’ve already used up my holiday gift budget for the season.” You don’t want to enter the New Year feeling financially behind because of holiday overspending.
