It's that time again. Before I start, I have to say, there are exceptions to this...medical issues, cheating spouses, etc...
ONWARD...
Now is the time we hear bitching and moaning about not having money for Christmas. Really? How long have you know it falls on December 25th?
Suggestions for ways to save for Christmas...
1. Stop smoking
2. Instead of buying alcohol, save it.
3. Pack your lunch for work.
4. Water instead of soda.
5. Hang you clothes to save on laundry or electric.
6. Cut you Internet.
7. Cut cable/satellite tv.
8. Sell your jewelry.
9. Sell electronics.
10. bake sale & yard sale in the summer.
11. Get a job
12. Get a second job
13. Stop getting nails done
14. Stop tanning
15. Don't eat out
16. Don't go to the movies, bowling, etc.
17. Sell Avon, Pamper Chef, Scensy, etc.
18. Use generic
19. Save your "extra pays". If you are paid weekly, their are 4 month you get paid 3 times. If paid biweekly, their are 2.
20. Shop sales and clearance.
21. Use tax refunds for the following Christmas.
The list goes on and on
Not trying to be rude and I apologise ahead of time if it comes off that way because I'm totally with you on this but what exactly is "extra pay"? I don't know about you but my pay checks go to my bills. There is no such thing as "extra pays". At least, not in my house.
but whining is so much fun.

I'm not the cat lady type. I'm more like an actual cat. I want affection when I want it and on my own terms. The rest of the time I want to claw out your eyes and piss in your shoes.

If you do a monthly budget, people who are paid weekly, base their budget on 4 pays. 4 times a year, their will be 5 pays in a month. If you are paid bi-weekly, this will happen 2 months a year, so 2 months there will be 3 pays.
When I was a single parent I always saved this money for Christmas.
They are trying to ban buying soda from FS
Do you REGRET having kids
