Your money and your lifestyle

Are you a spender or a saver?  Amanda Sharratt, the chief operating officer with Whitaker Myers Wealth Managers, says you can create the muscle for saving -- like she had to do as a spender.

Amanda says staying out of debt, especially during the holidays, starts with having a plan ahead of time of how much you can spend within your budget.  A good tip is to sell older items so you have some extra cash to buy gifts.

Amanda also discusses where to start paying off your debt and why it's important to have an emergency fund.
