Budgeting in the New Year

- Covid-19 restrictions are shifting, and a return to activities may result in higher expenses, but you may still find yourself saving due to remaining restrictions, such as in travel.
- Don’t forget about your subscriptions! With many services becoming subscription-based, it is a good time to review which you want and which you don’t.
- The Child Tax Credit was not renewed in ‘22, You may see it return if the Build Back Better plan is passed. For now, if you are a parent who had received it, plan for the loss of the tax credit.
