December 2021
Season Greetings!
Thank you, the Hallmark Channel and Martha Stewart (amplified by social media) for an epic list of holiday to-dos and the pressure to make sure everything is perfect while listening to "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." Last week during a virtual meeting with a group of women friends, we ran a Holiday Poll which confirmed that shopping for presents and eating traditional holiday foods are the least enjoyable things about holidays; whereas spending time with loved ones, volunteering, and giving to charities, and viewing others' creative decorations were the top three! I hope your to-do list has many more items that make your heart sing than those that are stress-inducing.
In hopes to help you be intentional, stay on track, and bring some order to what might be a hectic time, I've put together some guides to help you finish out your 2021 financial to-do list and start 2022 strong. From savings to retirement and charitable giving to money-saving actions to take before year-end, I hope to inspire you to put some intention around wrapping up your financial year with peace of mind. So, grab your favorite holiday drink, settle into a cozy spot and enjoy the money wisdom below.
Wishing you many precious moments with those you love while keeping our eyes and hearts open for those who might be lonely and longing for connection this holiday season.
