4. Meal Prepping
During this busy time of year, you might find yourself eating out more which can be very expensive and lead to weight gain if you aren’t careful. The best strategy for this is to ensure that you have food at home that is going to fit with your busy holiday season. Having light, on-the-go options can prevent you from going through that drive-through.
Taking time to evaluate your financial situation prior to the holiday season and developing a plan is the best way to avoid carrying brand new financial stress into the new year. You’ll be glad you did!
