It seems like the holiday season (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas) comes way too fast every year, but this year you can take charge and start planning early. When you start early and taking advantage of the extra time, you can maintain your budget today and minimize or eliminate credit card debt and high interest rates in the future.
How do you start?
Do you have a great success story of something you do to plan ahead? Please share it in the comments below!

We use the Mayo Credit Union and have sub-accounts within our savings. One of the sub-accounts we have is called "Gifts". It allows us to save every paycheck so we don't feel the crunch all at once during the expensive holiday season.
Thanks for suggesting we start planning now, @cgmaui! It will take the stress out of having to come up with ideas of what to purchase later this year. 🙂

Hi Rhonda! Welcome to the Mayo Clinic family. While I don't want to speak on behalf of the credit union, I do believe all employees are eligible. To learn more about how to join, please visit https://cs.loanspq.com/CONSUMER/LOGIN/DEFAULT.ASPX?LenderID=aaf6a31338dd46fba107aac539754e02 or a local credit union. I'm sure they will be more than happy to talk to you about the process.
Thank you. Cheryl
