I feel for you. It is a tight Christmas this year here also. My DH got behind on some major bills (house, ect) w/o telling me and for the past month and a half we've been paying double payments and really scrimping to get by.
We should be caught up mid January as well, it just stinks when it's at the Holidays. Everyone is shopping and all the fun things like that and it's tough to stick to a budget.
I'm baking cookies for all my family this year and the dogs are getting homemade toys and dog cookies this year too since I just don't have the budget for any gifts. DH and I may try to squeak out 10-15 to spend on each other but no guarantees.
I hope your finances start looking up for you soon! |
