The festive season is all about fun, families and summer holidays in the Garden Route but it’s also the time when many households quietly slip into financial trouble. Extra outings, gifts, travel and year-end expenses can quickly push you beyond your budget without you realising it.

At Garden Route Debt Counsellors, we see the same pattern every year, leaving many consumers with January financial shock.

Watch Out for These Common Holiday Spending Mistakes

  1. Using Credit for Everyday Purchases such as groceries, fuel and holiday treats
  2. Impulse Buys that you later cannot keep account of
  3. Using savings, overdraft, or constant account transfers to keep your finances afloat
  4. You’re Ignoring Your Budget Completely
  5.  Your Debit Orders Are Starting to Bounce
  6. You’re Borrowing to Keep Up with Festive Costs
  7. You Feel Stressed Every Time You Check Your Balance

How to Take Control Before It’s Too Late, and stick to your budget. Tracking your daily spending is an excellent start.
