As a CEO, I'm wrapping up the year by looking over expenses and categories, finding places to cut costs, and strategizing about the year ahead. If you're the CEO of your business or your household, you too are likely wrapping up end of year finances or at the very least wrapping up the holiday shopping. [...]
