  Budgets, deals, and timing: America shops for the holidays  
  The typical shopper will spend more than $1,000 on gifts this season – and that's accounting for tighter budgets in the face of high inflation, and the fact that more than half of people don't feel comfortable with the amount they have in savings.

  How to save money when flying for the holidays  
  Traveling during the holidays is often expensive (not to mention crowded, but there's not much we can do about that). Here are some tips to budget strain of holiday travel.

Don't procrastinate
The closer we get to the holidays, the more demand is likely to increase, so don't wait and book your itinerary earlier rather than later to help you get better prices.

Travel on off-peak days
You can save money on airfare depending on what day of the week you fly. For Thanksgiving, don't wait to travel on the Wednesday prior when everyone rushes to the airport.

Similarly, Christmas falls on a Monday this year, so the weekend before will likely be busy – and therefore more expensive – for travelers.

Pay in a smart way
Some credit cards offer higher rewards for travel spending, so review your card choices to pick the most advantageous one to use to buy the tickets.

  Financial planner tip of the day  
  "If it works with your income, the 50/30/20 budget is one simple method for people starting to reorganize their finances. This budget allocates 50% of your income for essentials, like rent and bills, 30% toward personal day-to-day spending, and 20% for savings or financial goals."
