How to Have a Debt-Free Holiday Season
With the holiday season approaching quickly, Americans are coming together to share a common tradition: worrying about having enough cash to get through the festive season.
More than 6 in 10 Americans report feeling at least some stress during the holidays, and finances are the No. 1 cause across all age groups. Sadly, concerns about holiday spending are justified, as a 2016 survey revealed consumers who went into debt for the holidays ended the year owing more than $1,000 to creditors. That's no way to start the new year.
Fortunately, you don't have to spend your holiday season making your credit card issuer a little merrier by giving them more money. You just need to make a plan to spend smarter. Here are a few key tips to help you do just that.
