If you’re running out to shop the last weekend before Christmas, you’re likely feeling some pressure to get those last minute gifts purchased.  Here are some potential spending mistakes to keep in mind so you don’t feel it in 2020:

Falling for those ads.  Those people look like they’re really enjoying that product…you want to feel like that too! But…spoiler alert…when you spend money you don’t have to buy stuff you don’t need, you don’t feel that same happiness.

Shopping when you’re tired.  Already having trouble with splurges or impulse buys?Only shop rested! When you’re tired, your decision-making skills and good judgment go out the window.

Charging all your last minute gifts. When you’re desperate and shopping at the 11th hour, you’re willing to spend more to get the perfect gift. And then you’ll charge it because you’re spending more than you meant to.
