Some people love giving gifts, but giving indiscriminately can interrupt
the giver’s own financial progress. When gift-giving is a strong part of
your identity, that is likely reflected in your spending. If you start to
feel like your tendency to give gifts is holding you back financially, it’s
time to re-examine how exactly you are expressing your love through gifts
and how you can prioritize your own financial health along with making your
friends and family happy.
