Experts offer ideas to make the most of this holiday season
METRO DETROIT Many people feel the financial impact of COVID-19, but financial experts at Greenpath Financial Wellness believe that shouldn’t stop them from celebrating, sharing joy and making this season special.
Greenpath Financial Wellness Program Manager Dusti Young said saving some funds and spreading even more cheer than years before is entirely possible if people plan ahead to be intentional.
“We know that spending can be emotional, so one of the challenges we are absolutely facing (this year) is people are making up for the fact that they can’t travel to be with family or can’t enjoy that time they’d normally spend with someone,” Young said. “Shoppers may end up buying more impulsively or end up spending more time online. They might be succumbing to the other stresses in life and using shopping to cope.”
