Dreading the holiday spending hangover?
« on: November 11, 2015, 08:12:15 AM »

Don't have a budget for the holidays?
Avoid December deprivation.

 
We know how it goes. You spend all your money on your plane fare home and presents for everyone from dear ole Aunt Edna to your newborn Cousin Timmy. Next thing you know, you’re pinching pennies just to buy groceries for the month—never mind having any money to have dinner with a friend or buy tickets when your favorite band’s in town.

At LearnVest, we’ll help you avoid the holiday budget hangover by planning ahead for November-December travel and trinkets the same way we’ll help you plan for other other non-monthly expenses—expenses you’re generally committed to paying, but may forget about because they don’t pop up every month.

We’ll add up your non-montly expenses, like your property taxes and car insurance, plus your haircuts, wedding gifts, and home maintenance costs and divide by 12. That way you can contribute to those costs on a monthly basis rather than having to tackle them in one gigantic lump sum.

Feels good to know your family obligations don’t have to put a damper on your day-to-day.





I just got this email from a company that my employer partnered with to offer us financial advising services. Pass... no thanks.

"...we'll also take a 1.25% cut in the process. You're welcome"
