Finance Advent Calendar: Day 15

by bigcajunman last updated on December 14, 2021

On Day 15, we renew an essential part of Advent for end-of-year finances, so we open the box and find a kettle.

The Kettle is a sign of the Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal, and in general, is a symbol of Charity. Charity is essential every day of the year, but at Christmas, when some people seem to think Overspending is the norm, remember some folks are not as lucky as us, and maybe you need to think about them too.

Charity is a cornerstone of Advent and of living a good life.

On the finance side of things, your charitable donations are deductible for the current tax year up to December 31st, so keep that in mind, too (make sure you choose a charity recognized by the CRA if you are going to give to get the deduction).
