Happy New Year!
How am I ever going to pay off all these debts from the holidays?
I can’t let this happen again next year!
If I save just $20 per week from now until Thanksgiving…
$20 X 46 Weeks = I’ll have $920 for Holiday Shopping!
Then I will use this holiday shopping checklist to figure out how much I am going to spend on each person’s gift.
