The Importance of Early Holiday Planning

Starting holiday shopping early can help alleviate stress and prevent overspending during the busy season. By preparing in advance, individuals can create a thoughtful plan that includes specific gift ideas and estimated budgets, allowing them to take advantage of sales and spread out purchases across several paychecks.
