Listen "Planning Ahead for the Holidays"
Episode Synopsis
Holidays have a way of eliciting excitement in our hearts when we think about them. We can’t wait to catch up with family, dig into food we usually only get to enjoy once a year, and celebrate with all the festivities and fun. But there is nothing that can burst our excitement bubble quicker than thinking about how much it will cost. The needle that pops our excitement bubble is doubly sharp when we think about all the time it will take us to plan, prepare, bake, cook, shop, decorate, and clean. It’s enough to seriously consider taking all our holiday money and escaping to a deserted island!But before you buy your plane ticket, listen in to find simple ways to manage your time and money, and still be able to enjoy your holidays. And it all starts with a Plan.(Listen closely to find an early FREE 'Christmas' Gift!)
