The holidays are magical—but they can also leave your wallet in ruins. If you’ve ever woken up in January with a “debt hangover” from overspending on gifts, travel, and celebrations, this episode is for you. Shanalei breaks down the hidden money traps that drain your budget faster than you realize and shares a fresh perspective on how to keep the joy without the financial regret.

 

You’ll discover how small shifts in your holiday approach can protect your finances, stretch your budget further, and set you up for a debt‑free new year. This isn’t about cutting back on joy—it’s about investing in memories that matter and avoiding the money mistakes that leave you stressed when the credit card bill arrives.

 

Tune in to learn how to keep the magic of the season alive while building momentum toward financial clarity in January and beyond.
