35 Days Away

November 20th, 2009 at 08:03 pm

In case you haven't realized it, Christmas is only 35 days away. The question I pose to anyone that maybe reading this is, how do you plan on paying for the gifts you will be giving? Have you been saving for it all year long or will you be winging it. As for me, I have a savings account especially for Christmas. Back when I first started, it was referred to as a "Christmas Club Account" Some banks/credit unions may still refer to it by this name. Regardless of what it's called, it sure is alot easier to set aside money through out the year than trying to come up with the money all at one time. I write all this to say, it you haven't already done so, go ahead now and set-up a seperate account with ING Direct, USAA or whomever you chose for your very own 2010 Christmas Savings account. You don't have to wait until Dec 31 to set your financial goals for the upcoming year. Get an early start now and accept this call to action

    I wing it, I use the money in the checkbook.

    I dont use my CC unless it is a big purchase or an online purchase, but if I save a big chunk of change for presents than I would spend it all.

    My Christmas Spending would be way overboard if I saved for it all year long.

    That's a interesting way of doing it. I would think that if you saved a set amount each month, regardless of how big or small that amount maybe; then when it comes time for you to use it then it's there specifically for that purpose. Since you've been saving, it's okay to spend it all. But hey, as long as it works for you and your family then it's all good..
