Holiday Spending Hacks: Budgeting Tips for a Joyful Season

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, hosts Grant Gallagher and Shawn Lubitz discuss budgeting for a holiday season that feels festive without breaking the bank. Main discussion topics include managing financial anxiety, making mindful choices to save, and planning ahead to shop holiday deals.

Following the main discussion, the team addresses a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: It always feels like January lasts three months and my paycheck doesn’t. Between higher bills, leftover holiday expenses, and trying to get back on track, I feel like I start the year already behind. How can I be more proactive this year so I’m not constantly trying to dig myself out?

Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s Cash Back Plus Checking Account. Earn up to 10% in cash back on debit card purchases, get refunds on ATM withdrawal fees, and manage your money with zero monthly maintenance cost.
