i keep mine in a plastic zip lock bag that my curtains came in... i am gonna use if for a surprise purchase...i just counted it today i have $800. i am not sure what i want to buy yet... i have a successful budget, retirement funds, emergency funds going.... my new years resolution written down goal was to save and pay down $20,000 this year... i have succeeded in doing that the past two years... we should be debt free in a couple more years...
at my granddaughters suggestion:
we did not buy presents for 2 of our friends, whom we always buy for at every holiday.. they didn't even email or snail mail or call us during the xmas holidays... they are both widows and when we do take them flowers, leather purses, etc. remembering their birthdays, they brag on some one else and what they have bought them... so, no more.. they don't buy us a thing, not even a thank you card... i have already saved $200 from cutting this out... we also stopped buying for my nephew and his wife and daughter.. that has saved us another $200... we gave them thru my sis picking them up, 26 dress shirts, almost new, my son never wears them, he has 10 new ones in the bags yet. etc.... they thanked my son profusely.... cannot figure that one out... i mean i used to buy his wife floor length dress gowns and etc.... lol....
