Santa’s Take on Holiday Spending (Ep. 35)
The holidays come early in this unforgettable episode of The Financial Puzzle Playbook, where Jim Sumpter is joined by none other than Santa Claus himself.
With a cocoa in hand and a beachy Hawaiian shirt on, Santa opens up about his off-season routine, what makes the perfect cookie, and why budgeting for the holidays is one of the greatest gifts you can give your future self.
Amid the laughs and holiday cheer, Jim and Santa dive into deeper reflections on meaningful memories, financial mindfulness, and how the best gifts often aren’t things at all. This feel-good episode is a joyful reminder of why we plan, why we celebrate, and why presence matters more than presents.
