Financial planner and author Helen Baker features in this episode of The Power Pack podcast from Power FM radio Adelaide South Australia, with Kristel and Damon. Adelaide’s best new breakfast team!
For smarter Christmas spending Helen suggests:
- Choose appropriate gifts for specific people, have a focus
- Set an amount per person in advance and add it up to see the total
- Gift more experiences rather than consumables
- Gift a ‘make a difference’ voucher such as from World Vision
- Offer to do something to help someone else, spend your time not money
- Hold off buying presents until they are ‘on special’ during the year or at Boxing Day sales
