Emotional Spending Can Spell Disaster (if You Don’t Learn How to Control It)

Many of us make and spend money because we must if we want to survive. Food, clothing, and shelter all come with a price tag attached and most societies require you to pull your weight if you want to live according to your own terms. However, when you get into the territory of spending more money than you make, your poor financial decisions are likely based on emotional buying rather than actual necessity; and this can quickly become a problem.

No More Over Snacking…

Do you ever sit at home and just snack on whatever you find in the fridge. Instead of pouring a bowl of potato chips, you grab the whole back and sit down and watch tv? An hour or two goes by, the show you were watching ended, then all of a sudden you realize you finished the whole bag of potato chips by yourself. This is the definition of bad snacking or snacking gone wrong.

5 Great Holiday Movies to Watch with Your Family

When the temperature plummets, frost forms on the windowpanes, and the snowflakes begin to drift lazily to the ground; when you step outside and see a mist of breath in front of your face; when you have to pull down the boxes of mittens, scarves, and long underwear that have been tucked away in a closet for six months; you know that winter has arrived. And what better way to wait out this cold and inhospitable season than by throwing a few logs in the fireplace, boiling up a batch of hot chocolate, and snuggling under the comforters for a few holiday movies?
