Iβve been saving for Christmas all year, Iβm really surprised at this. My goal was $500 but I saved $245.69 as of today. Next pay day Iβll be adding $40 and another $40 right before Christmas, brining the total to $325.69. Not bad for the first year of doing so.
Reason why I didnβt hit my goal was that I had a few car repairs pop up and I chose to pay off the credit cards.
I was planning on getting my nephews a zoo pass for the year. The cost is $174 for two adults and as many kids as there are in the household. Itβs a good deal but now that Iβm closing on the house I donβt want to spend that on Christmas. I know I saved for it but Iβd rather throw the difference into the house fund or pay my car insurance for three months.
Yesterday I ordered three pairs of kids PJs for the boys (nephews) at $5 each plus tax as part of their Christmas gifts. I think Iβll do movie passes $50 and keep the difference. Not sure.
It was a good day, today was the first time in weeks that I have not eaten out for breakfast or lunch. I usually spend $5.60 for breakfast and about $10 for lunch. So Iβm add $5.60 to the house fund and $10 on CC9.
I rolled my coins that was in my mason jar, I had a whopping $46.50 this will be added to the HOA fund.
