How do I make a budget for my holiday shopping?
assistant
1. Start by setting a total budget for your holiday shopping. Make sure you include all items you plan on buying for the holidays, including gifts and any other items you may need.
2. Create a list of the items you plan to buy, be sure to include the cost of each item.
3. Subtract the total amount of your list from the total budget you set.
4. Set a limit on how much you will spend on each item. Stick to this limit as you shop.
5.Track all of your spending so you don't go over your budget.
6. Put any additional money that you have leftover towards saving or investing.
