It's Episode 15 of Season 2 and with the end of the year fast approaching, Arthi and Malika prompt you to remember all the advice shared ahead of the festive or 'silly' season. In a fun twist, analogies from the cartoon comic Asterix and Obelix form the underlying basis of this episode (can you believe there was a Roman legionary called Christmasbonus!).
If you are lucky enough to receive a Christmas bonus or thirteenth cheque in November, it may be very tempting to immediately splurge this extra income on non-essentials. However, this might leave you feeling in the doldrums come 2024. The good news is that if you have been listening and implementing all the useful hacks provided since February, that bonus can be used smartly and effectively allowing your 2024 to begin with ease.
Malika and Arthi recap tips and tricks to enable you to be in a much better financial position. These include thinking ahead, using loyalty points, dining at home, sticking to your budget, shopping online, and recycling decorations.
Arthi reminds us about how to prioritise investments at this time of year and how to spend wisely.
