Tips To Save Money During Holiday Shopping
The holiday season may look different this year with families limiting their in-person gatherings. Yet despite social distancing and the ongoing economic challenges that millions of Americans are facing, the desire to spend money on gifts this year could be even higher than in normal times.
In fact, data from RetailMeNot found that consumer spending between the days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday is up this year ($766) compared to last year ($738). While it's understandable to want to give the perfect gift during these hard times, it might be worth having a closer look at your budget if you're struggling to stay afloat.
Black Friday: Save money with a refurbished iPhone, iPad or laptop
Sure, you can buy the latest iPhone 12 starting at $699, but doesn't a classic iPhone for $200 sound more up your alley?

In other words, instead of spending big money on Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales, why not save money on a refurb?
With a refurbished product, you won't get the latest technology, but you will get a workable device that didn't need to be thrown away – one that's been cleaned, inspected and re-packaged to continue serving customers.

Sully: Many expected to spend less money during holidays -
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumers increased their spending by a sluggish 0.5% last month, the weakest rise since April, when the pandemic first erupted, and a sign that Americans remain wary with the virus resurging across the country and threatening the economy.
The October gain reported Wednesday by the Commerce Department followed a seasonally adjusted 1.2% increase in September. It suggested that consumer spending, the primary driver of the U.S. economy, is being restrained by a weakened economy and by the failure of Congress to provide another stimulus package to struggling individuals and businesses.
How Much Money Can You Make on YouTube?
CPM rates are a bit mysterious to YouTubers, and they can range wildly, but usually fall somewhere between $2 - $5 per thousand views. That means a CPM of $5 will earn you $5,000 from a video with a million views. Considering that the average YouTube video received only a few thousand views, and you'll understand why it can be a challenge to make a steady income off of the site, even if you're popular.
Many YouTubers are sent a lot of free swag in the hopes they'll review the products on their channels. It's not easy to put a hard number on this as it's not strictly income, but you can imagine how much a creator can save on expenses if they're, say, running a makeup product review channel and all the products being reviewed are paid for by someone else.

How state political parties helped big money pay for this year's elections | Analysis |
WASHINGTON — State parties played an unprecedented role in financing the presidential election this year, making it possible for the national political parties to raise eye-popping sums from individual donors — and keep more money than they might otherwise be allowed.
That's all thanks to a 2014 Supreme Court decision that eliminated the overall limit on how much money an individual can donate over a two-year period to national political parties, federal candidates and state parties' federal accounts combined. The limit had been in place since the Watergate era.
