Financial advice and support over Christmas
Borrowing money to cover your Christmas spend could come at a price in interest and fees. At best, that could be money used for something far more worthwhile. At worst, it could leave you with debt you might struggle to pay off. Paying back the debt could be expensive and if you miss payments there’ll be a negative impact on your credit report. It could affect your future ability to get any type of credit at all. Worse still is getting involved with a Loan Shark.
The average Christmas budget per household is around £350, which includes food, presents, travel and decorations, among other expenses. To begin your budget, make a list of family and friends you will be buying presents for and allocate an amount for each person. You could use a free budget planner from a reputable source to help you get organised.
