Sis, it's perfectly okay to want to flex, relax and be taken care of this season but remember that January is the longest month of the year.
Here are 5 money mistakes that could ruin your rich auntie vibe this festive period.
1. Not budgeting: Leaving your spending to chance is a grave mistake to make this period, especially with the fact that everything and anything can be enticing. Ensure you set a budget on how and what to spend on.
2. Not shopping with a list: Sis, please, go with a list. Yes, you can memorise everything you wanna spend on, but still, go with a list.
3. Not acknowledging your triggers: Everyone has triggers that make them spend like their lives depend on it. Know these triggers and avoid them.
4. Peer Pressure to go on a vacay: Girlfriend, you know your bank account in and out. Expensive trips can always wait.
5. Buying to impress: We get that this one, in particular, can be a bit difficult but nothing is bigger than you😁😁

Although modern slavery isn't defined in law, it is hidden under different forms like:
1. Forced & early marriage 2. Forced labour 3. Human trafficking 4. Debt bondage 5. Slavery of children
