Best-selling author, time management expert, work life balance specialist and professional speaker Susan Sly gives good advice on managing holiday spending.

Scottsdale, AZ — December 16, 2016 — Best-selling author, work life balance speaker and expert, and entrepreneur Susan Sly recently published a new article, “5 Ways to Avoid Overspending on the Holidays.”

Susan starts the article out lightly, explaining that the heart of this “problem” is likely just a generous heart. After all, there are so many people we like to recognize and thank over the holidays. Usually, that means spending some amount of money on a gift.

“Yet,” she says, “that only scratches the surface of potential holiday expenses. Add to the gift list holiday parties, get-togethers and dinners, travel and trips, and it is easy to overspend on the holidays.”

Therefore, she adds, “To avoid post-holiday spending regret, it’s important we address and attend to the monetary aspects of the holidays as strategically as we regularly strategize and plan regarding our money, business, or career.”

Susan then gives five specific tips to help you avoid overspending this holiday season, such as setting a budget. She gets very detailed here, breaking down how to do this in a common sense, comprehensive, way that works.

She also shares some interesting deal-finding tips and even apps that make this easier than ever. One of these, http://honey.com, is a potential online shopping gamechanger.
