December is the season of big spending by consumers, usually because of the festive season. Christmas and New Year’s Eve compel consumers to spend extra for entertainment and leisure activities during this period. Consumers are drawn by the bling advertising and the retail stores specials to overspend on luxuries in the season. To speak on this we are joined by:
• Prof. Carel Van Aardt, the head of the Household Wealth Research Division, at the Bureau of Market Research
• Nathan Desfontaines, Cyber Security Manager at KPMG
• Rose Molokoane, board member at the Savings Institute
• Lebogang Mototo, associate institute at the Wits Business School
