Pre-Holiday Purchasing Tips

If the jingle of change in your pocket or sound of a crisp $50 is a memory of the past, the Wellspring editorial team brings some financial health tips to you in time for the pre-holiday spending rush.

  1. It’s still not too late to set aside cash and a cash budget for holiday gift giving.
  2. This year, early October is a great month to peruse special discounts on pre-holiday bargains for everything from electronics to apparel, toys, gadgets, and jewelry.
  3. A credit card should be viewed as a tool, not a necessity for holiday shopping. Thus, if you can’t pay the credit card off the month after you purchase, do not use it for holiday spending.
  4. Every time you use a credit card, be aware of the asset ratio and ability to pay back.
  5. If gifts or essentials are placed on a credit card this holiday season, be certain to use a credit or debit plan that offsets purchases by accruing rewards you truly need, such as travel, hotels, miles, or better yet, savings in a bank account.
  6. Get crafty and create gifts everyone will love on a budget.
    Stay tuned to Wellspring Health and Style for our editor’s picks for holiday giving with recipes, and ideas for making gifts from scratch, at home. shopping-cart-with-gift
