Speaking on Fox News, Warshaw emphasized prioritizing gifts for children aged 3 to 18 and urged viewers to focus on budgeting carefully to avoid overspending during the holiday season. She suggested that adults, particularly those who do not live nearby, do not need presents like slippers, as families face higher prices and tighter budgets. Her blunt advice sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many criticizing the idea as harsh or an attack on holiday traditions, while others saw it as a realistic approach to managing holiday expenses. Warshaw&#8217;s message underlines the financial pressures many families are experiencing as they prepare for Christmas.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Money expert says skip gifts for adults, even grandma, to save this holiday season<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2256732\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A financial expert is urging Americans to dramatically rethink their <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/holidays\/\">holiday<\/a> shopping lists, including cutting out gifts for adult extended family members, as families across the country brace for <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/christmas\/\">Christmas<\/a> gift shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on Fox News, personal finance coach Jade Warshaw warned viewers to rein in spending and prioritize children when setting a holiday budget.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3888242\/google-refuses-bow-eu-regulators-antitrust-probe\/\">Google refuses to bow to EU regulators in antitrust probe<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3887996\/maha-gains-junk-food-traction-cheetos-doritos-unveil-chips-without-dyes-artificial-flavors\/\">MAHA gains junk food traction as Cheetos and Doritos unveil new chips without dyes and artificial flavors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/business\/3887384\/union-pacific-and-norfolk-southern-shareholders-back-85-billion-railroad-merger\/\">Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern shareholders back $85 billion railroad merger<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Budget, budget, budget, you need a plan.
