News Flash! HOT Off the Presses! Christmas is on December 25th this year!!!
It took some time, coming very late in the year, but the governments of the world finally reached a compromise on when Christmas will be celebrated in 2008 2009 – and it’s December 25th! That’s just over a month away! Too late to save, so break out those credit cards, run up the balance and load up on gifts!
All kidding aside, will you go (further) into debt because of Christmas this year? AllFinancialMatters reports via Consumer Reports that 12 Million American’s Are STILL Paying Off Last Year’s Christmas!
Believe it or not, Christmas IS the same time every year, so why are people caught off guard by it? Why aren’t people saving for it? Putting aside as little as $1 a day THROUGHOUT the year in anticipation of the holiday will reduce the lingering stress that often results from what should be a joyous time of year. Spend the holiday enjoying time with family and friends rather than being bitter and resentful because now there are bills that have to be paid because gifts had to be bought.
It’s not too late! Prepare a budget and get ready for the holiday. Put the plastic away (or better yet, perform a plasectomy) and live within your means. Tell your money where to go rather than it telling you where to go. Skip a few lattes. Eat in rather than eat out. Look for deals online. Put a personal touch on your gifts by making them.
And when out shopping for others, how about skipping the purchase of that movie, CD, etc. for yourself?
