Holiday Spending Toolkit

It's the holiday season, and many of us are thinking about gifts, travel, and other festive expenses.
While it's a time for celebration, it's also important to plan and manage spending to avoid financial stress in the New Year.
To help you navigate holiday spending and stay on top of your finances, we combined five top-notch online lessons into a special "Spending During the Holidays" page that can help keep your budget and finances in check while you spread holiday cheer. 
 
Each of these five lessons can be completed in 5 to 7 minutes. Here is the rundown.
 
  •  Creating a Budget: Learn how to create a holiday budget that aligns with your goals, priorities and discover strategies to stay within your spending limits.
  • Preventing Overdraft Fees: Learn about why overdraft fees occur and how they can be avoided
  • Credit Cards: Learn how credit cards work, what features to look for, and how to manage a credit card responsibly.
  •  Identity Protection: Learn how to protect your identity and personal information.
  • Why you should pay more than the minimum balance on your credit card: Learn why paying more can save you in the long run.
