Christmas is coming! As much as we try to deny it and push it out of our minds, it is on it’s way… 8 weeks and counting! Ok, I’m sure that some of you are already on the ball and have started your Holiday Planning.
I’m having a hard time getting into it, but I know I had better get started and the first thing I always like to do is figure out my Christmas Budget.
It’s time to get your Holiday Budget figured out and start planning your Christmas gift spending.
When you have a plan and have an idea of what your expenses are going to be, you are much more likely to stay on track with your spending and stick to your budget.
Hopefully, you have some money set aside for the Holidays or can save it up in the next 2 months so you don’t have to Finance Christmas. I have heard a lot of talk from folks who are going pretty simple and frugal this year (myself included) and if this is you, there are still some expenses to be expected.
I have a little Christmas present for you…

I am a huge Dave Ramsey fan! My husband and I attended a Financial Peace University class a couple of years ago and it was a life changing experience for us. We were headed for financial ruin, the class was an essential part of our becoming “financially smart” and helping us to change the way we managed our money.
