So for people who have high cost debt, you really want to consider what financial goals you have.
voice-verified
One expert that I spoke to mentioned that a lot of people want to jump into investing and have that high cost debt.
voice-verified
That might not be the best idea, he said.
voice-verified
You want to take care of that debt first first.
voice-verified
before you go into investing because investing is not going to solve the problem the other way around.

If you plan to buy a home in 2021, first step would be go ahead and get that pre-approval.
voice-verified
You want to get pre-approved about two months before you decide to engage with a realtor and really seriously start looking.
voice-verified
That's going to save you a lot of time and that you'll be able to move a little bit quicker when you do find that home that you love.
voice-verified
And then once you do move, another little financial hygiene thing to keep in mind is go ahead and change your addresses on all of your bills as soon as possible.
voice-verified
A lot of people forget to change a bill, and if they're not doing auto pay, the bill's going to their old address, they forget about it, and it might show up on their credit report later.
voice-verified
Thanks for having me.

Before anyone even enters a store or goes online, what's recommended by a lot of different experts and analysts is that you take a step back and look at what bills do you already have on your credit cards?
voice-verified
What's your utilization look like so that you know what you're walking into?
voice-verified
Yeah, thank you for having me.
voice-verified
Yeah, it's definitely different from years past.
voice-verified
I mean, it's a little bit counterintuitive, you would think, with this year being so different that people might be scaling a little bit back when it comes to the holidays.
voice-verified
But actually, people are really using the holiday season this year to sort of make up for how the rest of the year has gone.
voice-verified
I spoke to one industry analyst who said, this is really how people are making up for a crummy 2020.
voice-verified
And he's observed it with a lot of past holidays, Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays.
voice-verified
were his examples of how people are really trying to make up for those missed birthday parties and graduations by putting a little bit of extra in terms of decorations, gifts, and food just to kind of support the fact that the year has been a little bit crazy.
