Press release from Dallas College:

Dec. 17, 2021

(DALLAS) — COVID and the ongoing supply chain nightmare are not the only Christmas Grinches. Thieves are ignoring home security devices and shopping from your front porch. It’s enough to make those most optimistic celebrants scream “humbug.”

But the holidays can be celebrated without overspending or indulging too many headaches.

Dallas College experts are offering tips that can keep everyone safe and bank accounts solvent as we move into a new year.

Regina Brown, who teaches accounting at Eastfield Campus, recommends setting up a budget and sticking to it.

“No one should go broke buying gifts,” said Brown, who recommends sentimental pieces like gift-wrapped candies that carry more meaning — but less expense. Such gifts, she said, go a long way with the recipient.
