Is there anything better than celebrating the holiday season with family and giving to others? However, it’s easy to lose track of spending in the season’s excitement. In fact, according to the 2024 Deloitte holiday retail survey, respondents expect to spend $1,778 (+8 percent year-over-year) this holiday season after expressing record holiday spending intentions in 2023.
Obviously, holiday spending can strain your budget, like the Grinch stealing every Christmas present and decoration in Whoville. Buying gifts, traveling, attending parties, and decorating can get expensive quickly.
