Every year, the focus of the holiday season is on consumerism and the need to spend money on the perfect gifts, the perfect decorations and creating the perfect dinner. And every year, Canadians end up spending too much money, putting them at risk for financial difficulties once the holiday season is over.
For advice about how to limit Christmas spending, we have invited Heather Cudmore, manager of credit counselling at Carizon Family and Community Services in Kitchener, Ontario, back to the show to discuss budgeting, the importance of having a plan and why it's time for Canadians to set new holiday traditions that don't break the bank.
