your guide for november
It’s November. Do you feel the change in the weather? Do you feel that surge of your money being whisked from your wallet and your time swept away by holidays? This can be a fun time of year, but it’s also busy. Take a breather and take time to prepare – such as saving money for potlucks and making a list for items to buy for Black Friday. We wish Singles Day was a thing in the U.S. and people were buying stuff for us.
