Curbing Summer expenses

After one of the snowiest and coldest Winter in Vancouver, followed by a very wet Spring, Summer is finally here. We have been blessed with sunshine and hot temperatures lately. Along with Summer, usually come higher expenses. Gas prices tend to spike for starters. Then the kids are out of school, you may decide to actually go on a vacation and social invitations are flowing in. Here are a few…

Nearly half of Canadians expect to blow their budgets on summer fun: poll

By Alexandra Posadzki, Canadian Press, Jul 1, 2015

A new poll from CIBC says nearly half of Canadians will need to dip into their savings or take on debt in the coming months as they look to make the most of the warm summer weather.

Of those surveyed, 40 per cent said summer is the most expensive season, while 36 per cent said they spend the most in winter.

Another 17 per cent singled out spring as the costliest season, while only six per cent said their household spending spikes in autumn.

The poll says the average amount that Canadians plan to spend on summer fun--which includes everything from travel and recreational activities to goods such as sporting equipment and barbecues--is $1,766.

Households in Atlantic Canada say they plan to spend the most on average--$2,694--while Quebec households were the most frugal, planning to spend an average of only $1,288.

The poll says nearly half--45 per cent--of respondents have tried to save for summer festivities but expect they’ll have to put extra costs on their credit cards.

Another 29 per cent said they tend to stick to their budgets over the summer, while seven per cent said their budgets go out the window during the warm weather months and 19 per cent said they have no household budget.

Christina Kramer, executive vice-president of retail and business banking at CIBC, says many Canadians tend to underestimate how much they will spend on holidays and other seasonal events.

“Expense creep,” which occurs when you spend a little more than planned over a period of time, can leave consumers with massive credit card bills at the end of the summer, says Kramer.

“Having a budget and sticking to it is the best way to enjoy the holidays worry free,” Kramer said in a statement.

“Canadians should treat these expenses the same as all others and make them part of your overall annual financial plan.”

Am I missing any new releases? I won't be buying the new princess dolls yet as they are just coming out and will be here for a year or more. I don't even want to add all that up. I probably won't be getting most of it unless I come into a good chunk of money somehow. And even then I would save a lot of it. I think I may take a break on buying older things for a bit unless I find amazing prices or find something in a thrift store.
