do you have a limit

[aggie49]

we set limits on what we will spend on present for everyone at christmas and for the most part stick to it

[Shandara09]

We usually don't, but this year we decided to only give our parents gifts.  Money is tight for a lot of my family, so we're just going to enjoy spending time together.

[CHANEYLAKEGIRL]

Yes we do. and I always stick to it.

[lkeys81]

[bretay]

I do have a limit.And for the most part I stick to it.My husband is on disability,so we have to keep a limit on the amount.I usually spend a little more on the grandkids

[donnitab]

We set a general limit of what we want to spend but always go over it.

WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO STICK TO THE BUDGET.  My husband was disabled a couple of years ago, so we are doing everything we can to keep our home.  I lost my job because of the time I needed to take care of him and my daughter and aunt who were all in the same accident, my mother-in-law was killed in the accident.  My Mother-in-Law and Aunt had rented rooms from us which helped with the house payments, so we lost not just my husbands income, but rental income too.    I laugh sometimes at the people who talk about the deadbeats taking government funds.  I worked and so did my husband and other family members, and because of a horrible accident people act like we want to be on government aide.     Anyway down off of my soap box~  LOL     We have budgets for everything we do. I am the coupon queen, nothing comes in our home without it being on a very big sale and or with coupons for it.   My husband just got to where he can work part time at a job that pays about 20% of his former wages.  So that is helping, I work about 5 different part time jobs now, so we are making a little headway.    Until this happened to us, I always thought "why don't people plan better".  We had insurance and everything, but it just doesn't cover everything.    We do lots of family activites and things that don't cost money, just time.   That helps a lot.

yea i usually don't spend more than 50 per person unless it is my parents. everyone usually gets a present in between that range.

We don't even have a budget for it. We are so broke, there is usually no money left over for anything after bills. Plus, I have been trying to get a job in allied health for about 3 years now, with no success, so we only think of our daughter. And to top it off, my birthday is on christmas day!

[Horatio24]

Normally we do not have limits.  This year however, we are only spending $15-$20 per person. 

[amahomes]

We decide this year to stop giving material gift, give the gift of prayer and love to one another. Show more appreciation , gratitude.

[ernica96]

not really....i mean of course i'm not going to spend a thousand bucks a person but i usually just think of a gift that a particular would "need" and then go buy it. never really make limits but i don't overspend anyway.

[sammywantsya]
