Kate, welcome to this special episode where we talk Christmas and spending money.

Our favourite time of the year.

Yes, it is.

And it's probably not the best time of the year for your wallet unless you've been very diligent and set a plan in advance.

We're in the final hours.

The countdown to Christmas is real and people are probably stressing about money and ways to save and what have you.

So we thought we'd add our two cents.

The Maya window's already up, so we're well and truly in the festive season.

Yeah, right.

I remember going to Bunnings.

I reckon it would have been like four or five months ago, and I reckon now we're already preparing.

So as soon as Easter's done... The mince pies turn up pretty early in about October.

Yeah, don't they?

In supermarkets, so...

Yeah, cool.

So we figured in this episode, we might just share some ideas from both sides of the ledger.

So like making a little bit more money, but also how to save money at Christmas and how to do it right, I guess.

And not go into crazy debt at Christmas.

Yes.

And that's one thing we wanted to kick off the episode with is just some scary facts from Finder.
