SmartyPig, http://www.smartypig.com,the only banking application that is social, released an article today, "Why Not Save Your Economic Stimulus Check for the
Holidays?"
"Oh, I know. The Holidays? Who's thinking about the holidays in May? The answer may not be you, but you should be." says Jon Gaskell, Co-Founder of SmartyPig. Jon discusses the so-called holiday hangover and what you can do to avoid getting one - that is, avoid receiving that dreaded credit card statement that you get after all of your holiday shopping is finished.
"When do Americans spend the most? You guess it: the holidays," says John. "And they spend even more when they charge their gifts instead of paying in cash,
getting caught up in the holiday spirit, it's a habit you definitely want to avoid." John discusses that you want to begin saving now, so that you don't get socked with a bill that will take you 15 years to pay off, especially as the credit card rates hustle higher.
