What to save for next? / $20 Challenge

November 27th, 2007 at 04:33 pm

Well, Vegas was FAB! Now that I am back, however, I am unsure of what my "Vegas Savings Account" should become. Maybe now it should be holiday gifts.

There is a huge issue with my unemployment bennies (will post more on that later) so all the money from the freelance jobs I thought I could put towards holiday shopping now has gone to everyday expenses and bills. Not happy about this. But at this rate I am almost done holiday shopping. The Boy and I have been talking and with the way finances are right now, we might not do gifts for each other this year. Maybe something small, but nothing like normal. Other than that I am about done. Sis is done, BIL is done, one more small thing for Dad(some candy he loves). Still need to do my 2 friends L and A, and Mums. L and A will be small gifts, as they understand I am poor and not working, and so will Mums.

Hmmm, I do really want to get my CC debt gone asap. Maybe what was before Vegas can now be a holding place until it comes time to pay my bills each month.

And then there is the most likely moving fees we will be having in the next 6 months or so. Ugh. I have a headache. Smile

For now we'll call it the Undetermined Fund. Smile

    Welcome back and so glad you had a great time!

    I realize I'm an old married lady and you are a young dating gal, so our situations are different, but DH & I have never regretted our decision to stop exchanging gifts. We prefer to save our money towards our retirement, and we do spend money on ourselves. DH doesn't buy me gifts, but he had no problem when I said I wanted to take a trip to DC. And I don't buy him gifts, but when his golf driver busted I said it was just fine to go ahead and buy a new one. Perhaps you guys could say that the trip to Vegas was your gift to each other?

    Glad you had a blast, did you take any pics? It's funny I don't really know you buti feel like i do and on Thanksgiving I thought about you and was wondering what you were doing/winning in Vegas...lol

    I say since you are not working save as much as you can and pay the minimum on debt until you get back to working
    Good luck
