VIVE THE SILLY SEASON<br />

We cannot emphasise it enough<br />

that consumers should avoid being<br />

sucked into the commercial Festive<br />

Season hype. Make wise purchasing<br />

decisions in these tough financial<br />

times.<br />

Buying items on credit can be<br />

dangerous because if you can’t<br />

afford to pay the minimum instalment<br />

each month, the deficit will continue<br />

to grow and the consumer will end<br />

up owing more and more.<br />

It is particularly tempting to buy<br />

on credit this time of year, with<br />

consumers being met with festive<br />

advertising campaigns in just about<br />

every direction they turn and a<br />

general spirit of consumerism in the<br />

air.<br />

Instead of splurging on items simply<br />

because they are on sale, be strategic<br />

about purchasing decisions and only<br />

buy items that you really need, can<br />

realistically afford, and have been<br />

saving up for.<br />

With all of that said, we would like<br />

to wish all our clients a joyful Festive<br />

Season. Thank you for allowing us to<br />

assist you in your journey to financial<br />

freedom. We are looking forward to<br />

doing so again in the coming year.
