Have you started budgeting for Christmas yet? If you start saving just a little per day throughout the course of the year, you can have a Paid For Christmas without killing your budget.
Save $1 per day, you'll have $214 to spend on Xmas!
Save $10 per week, you'll have $300 to spend on Xmas!
Of course, that's assuming you're starting NOW, in late May. If you start saving for Xmas 2010 immediately after Xmas 2009, you will have:
Save $1/day, have $365 to spend.
Save $10/week, have $520 to spend.
Those are some pretty impressive numbers considering how little you're giving up to get them...a coffee per day, or brown bagging instead of McDonald's twice per week. Just think of how many candy canes $520 will buy, and it can be a very Merry Paid For Christmas.
Christmas does not sneak up on us, we know about it. And the rule is, "we cannot think of everything but everything we can think of must be planned for."
No excuses this year, no presents under that tree that are not paid for in full. Start saving now.
