Intro

Hey, good morning, everybody. How are y'all? It's Thursday at 10am. So you know what time it is – it's Coffee Chats with Candice. So grab your cup of coffee, or your beverage of your choice, no judgment here. And that also includes no judgment on your relationship with money.

So we're going to continue with our series about the holidays, and this is going to do my final tips on it.

Thanksgiving Preparation Tips and Holiday Budgeting

Today's topic is Thanksgiving, and I'm not going to talk a lot about it because it doesn't require a whole lot of discussion, but I do want to point out important things that you want to start thinking about.

One, your Meal Plan. How many people are you hosting? Or are you bringing aside how many people are attending? You want to do your food budget.

If you're going to be traveling, are you taking off work? (so for your PTO or unpaid vacation, I mean, unpaid time or vacation time.) You want to start planning that now. If you start planning now, you're going to be one step ahead.

Do you need to create a sinking fund for your Thanksgiving and Christmas food budget? That's something to be thinking about and if you can, just get started.

That's really all I'm going to talk about that today and talking about the holidays.

Webinar Plug

So all right, so I'm so excited. I have a big surprise for y'all!

After seven years of working on my budget, and getting out of debt, and seeing how many people struggle with their money, I realized the disconnect is how you put together a budget that works for you. I've decided to teach this exact process for getting out of debt and creating a budget so that you can experience financial confidence too.

Alright, I'm trying to keep this under wraps. It's so hard for me to keep a secret or a surprise. It's not a secret, but yeah, it's a surprise.

I'm doing a free live webinar next Wednesday, at two different times. The first one will be at 11:30am and this second one will be at 7:30pm, and those are standard Central Standard Time (CST). They're going to address the “Three financial habits that will change the way you see and look at your finances.” So have I piqued your interest? Are you interested? I'll put the link in the comments for y'all to be notified if you want to do that. So let me do that real quick.

Outro

All right, that should be there now and I will add it to the screen so you can see it. Oh, that's way up.There you go. So I'll add it to the screen for you and can you see it. So this is the link you want to go to, so that you can sign up for the waitlist for the webinar and get notified about it and when it's going to start. So I'm gonna take this off of there.

I'm just so excited to be sharing this with ya’lll because I've worked so hard to get to this point; my husband and I both have. So it's not a thing that I've done by myself at all, so my husband and I both done this, but I've worked so hard to get to this point. I'm so excited to share that with y'all and I'm so excited to be able to show you all that you can achieve this, too, and you don't have to be living paycheck-to-paycheck.

If you're interested, and it sounds like something that you would want to hear about or hear more about, then click the link in the comments and sign up for the waitlist, and you will be notified when the webinar is and you'll be able to see it.

I'm so happy that you joined me here today! I don't really have anything else to say. Just drink your coffee or your beverage of your choice, and think about it, you know.

Again, a lot of people can get embarrassed or worried about talking about their finances, so this is a safe space for you to come to you and discuss this, because we have all been in this situation or are all in this situation.The first step is to admit that and to be okay with talking about it so that you can get past it.
