Welcome to December! We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday and you were able to reflect on what you are thankful for this year.

Now we focus on the holidays, which means buying gifts (which is amplified in Shawn's household with the addition of multiple family birthdays in the month of December).

How do you control your holiday spending?

Do you control your holiday spending?

In this week's episode Shawn & George talk about different ideas to keep holiday spending under control, including ideas like:

• Using all those reward points you've been saving throughout the year

• DIY Presents
• Set expectations on kids' gifts
• Set spending limits
