In November, once salaries are paid, I make it a point to save a large chunk of my income. This isn\u2019t just routine \u2014 it\u2019s my strategy to augment December\u2019s salary, knowing it often comes early and gets stretched thin by the holiday season.<\/p>\n
When December\u2019s salary arrives, the first thing I do is set aside my savings. Admittedly, it\u2019s not as much as in other months because of the festivities. Then, I combine what I saved in November with December\u2019s salary and divide the total into two unequal parts.<\/p>\n
The smaller part is for “Detty December” \u2014 the celebrations, gifts, and indulgences that come with the season. The larger share is my survival fund for January, the infamous month that feels like it has 300 days.<\/p>\n
This strategy works every time, but it demands a level of discipline unlike any other time of the year. Resisting the temptation to overspend during the holidays and sticking to my plan ensures that when January drags on, I\u2019m financially steady. By the time the first salary of the new year arrives, I\u2019ve not only survived but also maintained my peace of mind.<\/p>\n
