Tips to Keep Your Finance Under Control in 2019

Albert Williams, a nationally renowned economist and an associate professor says that this is the perfect time of the year to discuss finances and offers some financial recommendations for the end of 2018 and some resolutions for 2019.

He says online shopping has made it even easier for people to overspend and be over budget. When you're walking through a mall and have more packages than you can carry, it's a sure sign that you've overspent.  Unfortunately, we don't have that same "alert" when we're ordering online.
