Hey you, my fall favorites!

This is the time of year when it seems everything fun is happening all at once!

From now until the new year there are TONS of activities, concerts, and holiday-related events and it can be hard to pick and choose what to participate in and what to say no to. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Especially for those of us with hardcore FOMO.

But what if there was a way to participate in AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE without overspending?

There still may be some stuff we have to say no to, but here’s how we’re saving as much money as possible on seasonal fun.

Our Favorite Ways To Save On Seasonal Activities

Get those DISCOUNTS! When it comes to events that only happen for a few months out of the year, there are often ways to take advantage of discounts.

1. Early bird discounts. Start thinking now about what you want to do around Thanksgiving and Christmas and buy ahead of time. Jen and I are thinking about going ice skating. (coz fun fact: Jen used to be a ⛸️ figure skater!)

2. Discounts on the internet and social media. Check out the event you want to attend on IG and see if they’re running any special offers for following or reposting them. 🏷️ Also, search sites like Groupon for steep savings on activities in your area. 

And if you need some extra encouragement to keep looking for ways to save more and spend better, tune into Ep 282 Regaining Motivation When You Don’t Feel Like Caring About Money.

Regaining Motivation When You Don’t Feel Like Caring About Money – EP 282

This episode is all about working with our psychology (not against it) and figuring out how we can get back in control of our emotions so we can start making progress toward our financial goals.

3. Volunteer at an event. Many seasonal activities are not fully staffed with employees and they take advantage of volunteers to help fill in the gaps. 🎪 This often comes with perks like being able to come back again for free! Think festivals, local concerts, markets, etc.

William Roth, ‘Bill’ to his friends and family, most famously co-created what we now know as the Roth IRA. He also famously once got pranked by a radio host who convinced him to sing "Happy Birthday" to his nonexistent son.

What’s worse than getting pranked into singing? Realizing you have a retirement savings you never rolled over to an IRA. 😨

You’re not alone. The number of forgotten or left-behind 401(k)s has increased by over 20% (to 29 million!) since May 2021. And who can blame ‘em? Rolling over a 401(k) is confusing and time-intensive.

If you have a retirement account from an old employer that’s been sitting around, even if you’re not 100% sure, Capitalize can help you move it to an IRA, for FREE!

Rolling over an employer retirement plan to an IRA used to be a pain in the Roth, but with Capitalize, it’s a piece of birthday cake. Check it out today! **
