Do you remember the innocent days when you ended up with more money at Christmas, instead of less? For anyone who earns a living and has bills to pay, an affluent festive season is all but a memory.
OK, so the part of Christmas that involves giving is often just as fun as the receiving. However, your wallet might not agree. It’s become all-too-common for people to spend several months after the festive season playing catch-up – wouldn’t it be nice to avoid all that one year?
Here’s the good news – it’s possible. With a few thrifty steps, you can give your bank balance a well-earned rest, without necessarily having to compromise.
Pass on unwanted gifts
We’ve all been given gifts that we’ll never have any use for. The MSN Christmas Shopping Study estimates that in the UK, around £2.2bn ($3.3bn) is spent on unwanted gifts – around £37 ($55) per person.
Instead of stashing those unwanted gifts, why not pass them on to someone who could use them? There’s no point in letting that power drill collect dust just because you’re useless at DIY. Find someone who would appreciate it and give it to them instead.
(Of course, you’ll have to be extra careful not to give your unwanted gifts to the people who gave them to you in the first place!)
Stay with friends and family
Being the host at Christmas can be fun, but it can also be stressful and it is usually expensive.
Visiting family means you get to see those loved ones you don’t see often enough, as well as sharing a good family meal – without spending any of your own money.
Don’t just give – DO something
Who says Christmas gifts have to involve spending money? Plenty of people would be just as happy if you could take a few awkward tasks off their hands.
Why not decorate someone’s living room – landscape their garden – fix their car? Take what skills you have and put them to good use. All it will cost you is time and effort.
Throw a party – BYOB!
Throwing your own party is a great way of getting everyone together, but here’s the clever part: by making it a ‘BYOB’ (Bring Your Own Beer), you can have a great time without paying a penny. Your friends and/or family should be happy to donate food and drink in return for the use of your home, so you won’t have to worry about missing out.
Make savings
We’re a little bit late in the year for this one, but here’s a tip that could make next year’s Christmas spending all the less painful.
This does involve spending money – but at a much more manageable pace. At the beginning of the year, calculate how much you think you’ll spend in total, and divide that number by 11 (unless December’s payday falls before Christmas, in which case you can make it 12). Start paying that amount into a savings account each month, and in December you’ll have a nice Christmas fund, plus interest.
