As the holiday shopping season goes into full swing, some people are maxing out their credit cards to pay for presents and others are setting budgets and sticking with them.
Scour just about any Facebook stream or stop in a local coffee shop and you might hear parents debating the merits of setting spending limits. Or, you'll hear them lamenting about just how much they've already spent.
The ideas for a perfect limit do seem to vary rather greatly. Some parents say $100 per child is more than enough. Others tend to lean toward much more generous figures. After all, there’s nothing like seeing a child’s eyes light up as they unwrap gift after gift.
Do you set spending limits on the presents you buy for your kids? How much is too much?
I loved your story! 2012 has been such a horrible year not only for me, but my family and friends, that yourh heart felt story gives me a sense of hope and inspiration that yes, there are good people on Earth afterall. Thank you!
On a different note, I don't want anyone to feel pressure to give me things. I feel as though I have SO MUCH, I'm happy with cards, time, I don't need more things. After reading the story about the homeless man who became stuck in a pipe, but was Fortunately saved, because people heard him calling for help, I feel SO GRATEFUL for what I have.
I hope that things look up for you soon! :)
I am a frugal shopper, buying what is on sale through out the year. this year I started in March. Now I am finished. I also prefer to keep the real reason for CHRISTmas in the foreground and not the commercialization of christmas Randy, just thinking
Something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read.
