Let me guess—your holiday spending got a little out of control again this year? You're not alone, friend. The holidays have a way of making us swipe, click, and overspend like there’s no tomorrow. Then January hits, and you’re left wondering what just happened to your bank account. Sound familiar?

• Tips to automate your finances so next year feels effortless.
