The festive season when even the most misery of us find a reason to splurge is almost upon us. The urge to spend, however, sometimes gets the better of us and we habitually find ourselves struggling financially in January. This need not be the case because amid all the heightened spending, you can still find ways to make an extra coin to cushion yourself against the vagaries of the New Year.
