Have you started your 2008 Christmas Club savings account? Do you Plan to?

MontanaSweetie · 01-08-2008, 11:41 AM

I didn't know we had one going on, but its a great idea!

~~Donna~~ · 01-08-2008, 11:45 AM

No, we dont. We usually buy throughout the year. Didnt work last year, too much going on. But I have already started my stash for bdays and Christmas this year.

im not going to.

My income right now is wayyyy crazy, working two seperate jobs sparatically, so I could put away like random amounts, totally not worth it, I'll just make sure I budget to the $ i have come November.

I only spend a few hundred on Christmas, it is not enough to save and even if I did save a bunch more money all year my parents wouldnt let me spend it on Christmas

No.. we usually don't, but I start buying gifts right after DD's birthday.. so mid Aug. usually.

I've already bought some stuff. John thought I was nuts til I told him I got it all for 60%-80% off. I've also started on b-days and Easter, too.

I did. I opened an ING account and am transferring money from Dh's check into the account. that way it will go in there every month.

Jen · 01-08-2008, 12:53 PM
