Re: How much are we spending this Christmas comapred to last year
I have no idea what we usually spend and this year we are aiming $400 - $500. We probably spent around $2k last year, because we bought ourselves a new laptop. Maybe $1k on an average year. Dh just reminded me we bought my dad a pretty extravagant gift last year as well so maybe we usually run more than $1k. Amazing. I generally feel like we don't do that much at christmas - just imemdiate family - but I think we have splurged a bit much on them in the past.
This year we have really pinched the pennies though. I budgeted $400 but we may splurge on a friend in need and give her $100 cash this year. Why I guess $400 - $500. most the shopping is done and budget is going good.
