Christmas can be a difficult time to manage your finances prudently. However, there are some obvious but worthy tips that could just save you from financial meltdown:

1.  Don’t spend more than you can afford.

2.  Budget expenditure for your gifts, listing out how much you can afford to spend on each person.

3.  One useful tip for uncles and aunties is to buy gifts for each others children only.

3.  Use a price comparison site to get good deals.

4.  There is some evidence to suggest that we spend less using cash so leave those credit cards at home.

5.  Be aware that late payments on one card could result in rate increases on other cards due to a reduction in your credit score.

6.  Don’t use credit cards to withdraw cash from ATM’s.

7.  Pay your card off in full at the end of the month.
