Financial Tip Friday’s Sensible Gifting includes keeping your incoming and outgoing finances in mind as you charge this season.

Financial Tip Friday is brought to you in partnership with the 1st National Bank of Dennison. 

How easy is it to not open your mobile or online banking app.

We tend to overlook or forget to verify how much is in the account before writing a check.

When a commercial is on and your child says, “I want that” going to Amazon right away and ordering it (before you forget) may be beneficial, however, don’t click “buy now”  instead keep it in the cart or save it for later to think about the gift.

Sensibility means making wise choices.  Purchasing items that will bring more than 20 minutes of joy. 

Here are Local Experience Gift Ideas for Ashland, Stark & Tuscarawas Counties:

 

 

 

 

If purchasing gifts is limited now, then consider opening a savings account and watching the money grow.  Christmas Club Accounts can also be opened at banks to ensure there will be funds for presents for 2022.
