Was the holiday a budget buster?
December 23, 2008
Hello readers. I’m about to take a mini-vacation for the holiday.
I would love to hear from you about how your holiday went and how your finances were impacted by holiday festivities.
My husband and I pledged to reduce our spending this Christmas. I have to tally up the final numbers, but I think we succeeded in spending less this year. I will admit that we probably still ended up spending more than we should have, but hey, it’s a start.
When I talk about spending on the holidays I don’t just mean gifts. I’m talking meal and baking costs, cards, alcohol, charitable donations, travel costs … the whole package.
Did you set a budget for your holiday spending? Did you cut back on gifts? Did you tweak your holiday festivities to be more financially friendly?
Until next week Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
