Student loans can be very dangerous debt

The most dangerous debt you can ever have is student loan debt because student loan debt is not dis-chargeable in bankruptcy. So I want you to change your attitude -- stop feeling like you're drowning in student loan debt and start feeling like you're swimming in the future of your life...and that your student loan debt allowed you to get there. Change your attitude and you'll see your financial life change, too.

Gift giving/exchange can hurt our wallets

If you don't have money and you're buying a gift for somebody, chances are they don't have money either. If you give them a gift they're going to feel obligated to give you a gift back. Now you're both going to have to put those gifts on your credit cards and you're both going to be spending money that neither of you can afford.

Initiate a frank discussion with your nearest and dearest about scaling back holiday giving. This is the perfect time to break the all-too-common cycle of spending more and more money every year -- and forgetting what the holidays are really about,
