According to a report that we recently checked out, Americans spend approximately $700 (a piece) on gifts each year during the holiday season. If you’re like “Yeah, not me. I’m still trying to make sure my money’s right for rent this month”, we get it. And fully support you paying your rent…FIRST.

Don’t let being tight for cash pull you out of the Christmas spirit. There are all sorts of ways that you can give to the ones you love without putting your checking account into the negative. It’s all about being open-minded and creative. Oh, and checking out this article before making any money moves.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
