Maintaining your holiday budget

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- Christmas is coming quickly, and for last-minute gift shoppers, it can be pretty tricky to stick to a budget.

You may be tempted to splurge on your family and friends because the holidays are right around the corner. However, taking the steps to maintain a budget and limiting your spending will remove a lot of physical and mental pressure.

Clark Hayden, a certified financial equator at Lockshield Partners, shares the importance of making a budget for the holidays, so you’re able to check off your list without spending too much.

Hayden says, “Budgeting is important, because that tends to eliminate a lot of stress. If you have a good idea of where your money is going and where it should be going, then you’re going to feel a lot more confident, and you’re going to feel a lot more content with your situation.”
