Objectives The Big Picture Psychology of Money Making Changes Expectations The Art of Gift Giving Traditions Paying for it Understanding the Marketplace

The Big Picture Savings House/Shelter Car/Transportation College/Career Training Retirement Vacation/Travel Emergency Fund 50 Budget Busting Holiday Seasons?

Psychology of Money Ask yourself these tough questions Does money make the holidays better? What does money mean to you? What did money mean to you? What do you need to do in order to change your behavior? What is your “latte factor”? How motivated are you to change your money belief system?

Making Changes Reality check It is okay to say “no” Get input/feedback Be a role-model Identify resources that will help you

Realistic Unrealistic What can you afford? What can you eat? What can you drink? Comparing yourselves to “Jones” or media hype Trying to solve long standing family conflicts That there is a “perfect” table-setting, gift or decoration Expectations

The Art of Gift Giving Plan and start early Set realistic limits and talk with family members Exchange “gift idea” lists Have a conversation about gift giving Give non-gift items Gift Certificates for Services Practical items Be prepared for resistance Pre-buy gifts during the year and keep for the holidays

Traditions Remember what your meaning of the holiday is Keep traditions that work Be open to new traditions Get ideas from friends and colleagues – find out what they do Include charity work and giving back

Paying for It Manage Your Credit Cards! (before, during, after) Cash (preferred but be safe!) Debit Cards Gift Cards Christmas Accounts

Your Holiday Budget Anticipate, Don’t React: o Review your budget success to date o Know your balances (Credit Cards, Checking, etc.) o Know how you are going to pay (previous slide) Make lists and stick to them! (No impulse buying) Know your weaknesses and plan around them. Mark your progress over time 10

Keeping Track of Spending Make a list identifying each recipient Keep receipts in one place – an envelope or coupon keeper Text yourself your purchases to enter into your list Get credit card and bank balance alerts Check your balances before you go shopping Remember how much your gas and time costs Don’t shop for yourself

Understand the Marketplace Loss leaders Know good prices Decide when and who to shop with Have a mantra Stores feature different categories every week

Never spend your money before you have it - ~Thomas Jefferson "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. Motivation
