THIS WEEK'S TIP FROM US

Here’s your weekly tip from Principal. Are you tempted to use history as a guide
for what’s happening in today’s economy? It’s understandable, but not always
helpful. While some factors such as inflation and unemployment may bear
resemblance to those in the recent past, the exact mix of what’s going on today
is very different. As you close out 2022 and look forward to 2023, that lesson
can serve as a reminder that the fundamentals, not the predictions, are what
matter. One fundamental that may help with uncertainty? An emergency fund. Over
time, small deposits add up to savings that you can turn to for unexpected
expenses.

TIPS FROM PREVIOUS WEEKS

As you do your online holiday shopping this year, take steps to help keep access
to your information and financial accounts safe. If you’re shopping online
double check the site is secure before providing any information. When offered,
don’t store your account information with retailers. If possible, try to use a
payment method that requires biometrics such as Apple or Google pay. And if you
don’t already have alerts, turn on notifications of activity on for your
accounts.

Thanksgiving is a common day to indulge—in comfort foods and holiday shopping.
Before you snatch up those Black Friday deals, calculate how much you have
available to spend this year. You can look back at your statements from last
November and December and adjust from there. Did you stretch your finances a bit
thin? Try to find ways to trim this year. If you do stay under budget, consider
saving any leftover cash for the new year.

 * 3 ways to keep your finances on track during the holiday season.
 * Check out some smart shopping tips and tricks.

Here’s your weekly tip from Principal. From rising prices to general
uncertainty, the economy has made things hard for people. Avoiding headlines and
predictions may feel nearly impossible. But ask yourself: Does the day’s change
in the stock market, for example, truly impact any of the choices you’re making
to strengthen your financial security? If not, do you even need to pay attention
to that piece of news? Instead, think about what strategies you can develop to
strengthen your response to hard times—now and in the future. End of year is a
good time to take a close look at your budget, so you can better plan for next
year’s expenses and opportunities.

As holiday shopping season begins, now’s a good time to take some simple steps
to help keep access to your financial information safe. Sign up for account
alerts to get real-time charge notifications. Review your statements in detail
to check transactions. Be sure to use strong passwords and multi-factor
authentication. Avoid using public wi-fi networks when possible. If you notice
anything unusual, make sure to contact your financial services company right
away.
