If you have a large family (or extended family), consider doing a secret Santa with a spending limit. This will help you control your gift budget. #christmasiscoming #moneytips

Regular saving accounts are fixed term accounts. This means that you can only access your savings and the interest generated at the end of the term. #savingoptions #savingaccounts #regularsavingaccount #financialliteracy

[piggysaving @piggysaving]

Regular saving accounts generally have higher interest rates than regular accounts and easy access savings accounts. This mainly because it is a fixed term on the account #savingoptions #savingaccounts #regularsavingaccount #financialliteracy

As you shop and spend for Christmas, don’t forget to keep track of your expenses. You need to compare them with the budget you have set. If you go over your budget, you might have time to pivot and save Christmas! #christmasiscoming #expensestracking #moneytips

To prepare for Christmas, you need to plan ahead. Make a list of the people you want to buy presents for and how much you can afford to spend on them. Include the costs of Christmas meals and any parties, such as work Christmas parties. #christmasiscoming #xmasplanning #moneytips

Not all accounts are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). For example, Revolut is an electronic money institution, not a bank, and does not have a banking licence. This means that it is not protected by the FSCS #savingoptions #fscs #financialliteracy

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protects your money up to £85,000 per banking licence, not per bank. #savingoptions #fscs #financialliteracy

Start saving early for Christmas. The sooner you start, the less stress you’ll have later. It’s not too late to start, even with just over a month left! #christmasiscoming #xmasplanning #moneytips

[piggysaving @piggysaving]

Keep in mind that the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protects the institution, not the account. If you have multiple accounts at the same bank, the total amount that is protected is £85,000 (£170,000 for joint accounts). #savingoptions #fscs #financialliteracy

[piggysaving @piggysaving]

Did you know: Your savings account is protected up to £85,000 if the bank or financial institution goes bust or something goes wrong, as long as it is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). #savingoptions #fscs #financialliteracy

I remember being in so much debt that I couldn't afford my electricity bills... it was a dark time. #jokes #moneyjokes

Individual Savings Accounts (ISA) are designed to promote & encourage saving money (within the allowance limit). Hence HMRC does not tax you on the interest or income/capital gains from your ISA. (https://t.co/dipNsaoylG) #isa #savingoptions #financialliteracy
