As you prepare to bid farewell to another year, you may be reflecting on the past 11 months and looking at the goals you set for yourself in 2023. Did you achieve what you wanted? Did you grow personally, professionally, and financially?
Financially, perhaps you added to your emergency or college fund or finally paid off that credit card bill. If so, congratulations!
On the other hand, perhaps you went off course and did too much impulsive shopping or had to replace good ole' Bessy, your faithful vehicle from 2001. If so, don't be too hard on yourself. Life can get hectic, and it's easy to lose track of our financial goals.
Before flipping the calendar, here are some year-end financial tips to consider before saying goodbye to 2023.

Once again, you survived Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday.
Even after those few crazy days of holiday shopping, you can still find some great deals. Unfortunately, the cyber thieves are lurking in the corner trying to make a profit off of everyone else’s holiday cheer.
There are, however, ways you can lower the risk of your personal payment information being compromised.
