Michelle Hutchison, a money expert at finder.com, has some advice on budgeting on the eve of Thanksgiving Day 2016 and upcoming Christmas:
‘But what is really going to save you money in the long-term is setting a budget ahead of time. Creating a budget can help you avoid having to use your credit card and accruing interest if you don’t pay it off in time.
If you do find yourself using your credit card more than usual and struggle to pay it off, it’s worth considering a balance transfer where you can transfer your debt to another card with low or no interest for a certain period of time.’
Have a happy Thanksgiving Day in 2016!
