Free online holiday budget planner and article from Pioneer Services

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Oct 29, 2009) The holidays are a time of food, family, and good cheer. But with a deep recession affecting our nation, many families—including those in the military—may find it financially difficult to get into the spirit this year. Luckily for them, some smart spending strategies can make this year’s holiday season bright, and they can find those strategies in a new free article from Pioneer Services entitled “Keep your spending on track this holiday season.”

Part of the company’s award-winning financial education program, the article offers several tips on how to save money and spend smart. Pioneer Services has also created a new website, HolidaySpendingPlanner.com, that offers free budgeting and savings calculators. Visitors to the site can save their information for future reference, compare their budget to their actual spending, and even create gift lists for their family and friends.

“Some people may be surprised how much they can do this holiday season if they budget well and spend wisely,” said Karen Von Der Bruegge, chief marketing officer for Pioneer Services and the author of the article. “The article gives tips on how to do that, and HolidaySpendingPlanner.com gives them the actual tools. It’s a great combination that can help every family have a fantastic holiday, no matter their income.”
