Carrington Dean's 9 Tips to Steer Clear of Debt this Christmas

(PRWEB UK) 18 December 2015
Scottish Consumers are already hitting the shops in preparation for Christmas. If they haven’t yet, the chances are right now they are weighing up their desire to be generous with the constraints of their budget. On the other hand many are planning to do what so many families do every year, which is go out and shop and just hope it all adds up.
According to the Centre for Retail Research, households last year spent a whopping average of £775 just on Christmas! That sum includes not only presents, but also food, décor, and travel arrangements. However, one third of families will pay for Christmas with credit cards, and over a million are thought to use payday loans for this purpose.
The problem with payday loans, overdrafts, and credit cards is that they ultimately drain bank accounts. Consumers want to be generous, but all to often spend more than their means to do it.
