Peter Anderson from Bible Money Matters takes us through how much people are spending on Christmas and how budgeting for the holidays can make sure you don't have debt in the new year. Pete also drops a lot of great ideas for DIY Christmas gifts and decorations and how you can save money on holiday activities and shopping for presents.

You've heard me talk about today's sponsor Wealthsimple many times in the past, but they've been really busy in the past year, so I wanted to recap all the services they now offer to Canadians. First, there's Wealthsimple Invest, this is the robo-advisor they're known for, and my #1 overall pick for Canadian robo-advisor. Then there's Wealthsimple Save, a high-interest savings account. Next, they have Wealthsimple Trade coming out, which is stock trading with no commissions. Check out everything Wealthsimple offers at https://maplemoney.com/wealthsimple
