               Gift               Options
               Baked               Goods               and               Confections
               It's               time               to               take               out               the               cookbooks               and               search               online               for               delicious               recipes.

Cookies,               cakes               and               candy               are               always               delightful.

Place               the               sweets               in               a               tin,               small               gift               box,               jar               or               other               creative               container               and               wish               the               recipient               Happy               Holidays!
               If               baking               is               not               your               area               of               expertise,               purchase               these               items               already               made               and               place               a               bow               on               them.
               Holiday               Cards
               You               can               be               debt               free               and               stress               free               if               you               simply               give               everyone               holiday               cards.

Options               include               photo               card               greetings,               money               holders               and               standard               greeting               cards.
               If               you               plan               to               include               money               in               each               card,               a               $5.00               bill               for               kids               and               $10.00               gift               card               for               adults               is               ideal.
               Personal               Care               Items
               Bubble               baths,               lotions               and               bath               salts               make               great               gifts.

Most               women               enjoy               fragrances               and               they               can               typically               be               found               on               sale               throughout               the               year.
               You               should               be               able               to               find               7-10               tubes               of               lotion               or               bottles               of               body               spray               or               mist               for               $3.99-$10.00               per               package.

               Lottery               Tickets
               Lottery               tickets               make               great               gifts               for               adults.

Some               will               win,               while               others               will               lose.

In               either               case,               the               gift               is               creative               and               is               certain               to               ignite               joy               and               laughter               throughout               the               room.

Include               the               tickets               in               a               holiday               card               with               a               note               wishing               the               recipient               luck.
               Kits
               You               can               prepare               all               types               of               kits               to               gift               to               your               loved               ones.

From               coffee               or               crafts,               the               gift               is               sure               to               please.

A               coffee               kit               might               include               the               recipient's               favorite               type               of               coffee,               creamer,               coffee               mug(s),               et               cetera.

These               items               can               be               placed               in               a               basket               or               gift               bag               for               an               elegant               presentation.
               Cash               or               Charge?
               It               is               widely               endorsed               that               you               pay               cash               for               purchases               whenever               possible.

If               you               charge               it,               you               are               ultimately               incurring               debt.

Debt               you               may               not               be               able               to               repay.

As               the               goal               of               this               article               is               for               you               to               be               debt               free               after               the               holidays,               leave               your               credit               cards               at               home               or               exercise               restraint               when               shopping.
               You               should               not               spend               money               you               don't               have.

So               shop               and               spend               wisely.
               Create               a               Holiday               Budget
               Ideally,               you               should               not               spend               more               than               $150.00               of               gifts               for               a               group               of               any               size.

This               includes               family               and               friends.

Christmas,               in               particular,               is               not               a               time               for               big               spending               unless               you               have               big               bucks.

Christmas               is               a               time               to               celebrate               the               birth               of               Jesus.
               Today,               we               celebrate               the               birth               of               Christ               by               giving               gifts               to               one               another.

But               you               don't               have               to               break               the               bank               and               add               to               your               financial               frustrations.
               Placing               limitations               on               holiday               spending               is               a               goal               to               aspire               to.

Most               people               find               themselves               paying               restitution               for               wrong               doing               during               the               holidays               by               over               spending.

This               in               turn               results               in               an               overwhelming               amount               of               debt,               as               well               as,               past               due               bills               in               the               early               part               of               the               upcoming               year.
               Refer               to               your               holiday               budget               throughout               the               year,               as               you               shop               for               gifts,               to               remain               within               the               predetermined               spending               limits.
               Comparison               Shop
               Have               you               ever               heard               the               song,               "You               better               shop               around"?

Well,               it's               true.

Comparison               shopping               is               an               effective               way               to               save               money.
               Discount               stores               typically               offer               great               prices               on               the               same               merchandise               sold               in               department               stores.

Resale               stores               also               offer               brand               new               merchandise               in               all               departments.

Checking               your               local               store               year               round               can               yield               significant               savings.
               Used               toys               in               excellent               condition               can               also               be               found               at               resale               stores               and               yard               sales.

Browse               each               department               for               deals               and               consider               how               you               will               repackage               items               you               find.

Place               them               in               gift               bags               or               boxes               for               gift               giving.
               Kids               of               a               certain               age               will               not               know               the               difference               between               something               old               and               something               new.
               Use               Coupons
               I               am               a               huge               proponent               of               coupon               use               and               faithfully               watch               Extreme               Couponing               on               TLC.
               I               use               coupons               whenever               I               can.

If               you               check               the               sale               circulars               year               round,               you               can               find               deals               on               all               sorts               of               items.

Stores               typically               include               coupons               that               can               be               used               to               purchase               items               for               a               percentage               off               your               total               and/or               for               specific               items.
               Plan               to               only               shop               when               your               favorite               store               has               a               sale               and               offers               additional               savings               on               the               items               you               choose.
               Toys,               perfume,               cosmetics,               clothing               and               accessories               are               amongst               the               merchandise               that               can               be               purchased               at               deep               discounted               prices.

Some               deals               are               not               even               advertised.

This               means               you               should               be               on               the               lookout               for               items               on               clearance               and               other               unadvertised               deals.
               Food               and               other               items               needed               for               your               holiday               celebration               can               also               be               purchased               well               in               advance               of               the               holiday               season.

Stock               up               on               holiday               meal               essentials               now               and               rest               later.

Food               items               such               as               canned               goods,               pie               crust,               poultry,               cornbread               mix,               et               cetera.
               Why               wait               until               the               holidays               to               purchase               these               items               when               you               can               reserve               a               spot               in               your               pantry               or               freezer               now               and               save               gas,               time               and               energy               later.
               Check               your               Sunday               paper               for               coupons               on               the               items               you               will               need               and               enjoy               tremendous               savings.
               Talk               to               Your               Family
               Having               a               discussion               with               your               family,               children               in               particular,               regarding               the               gift               giving               plan               can               decrease               your               stress               during               the               holidays.

If               everyone               knows               the               game               plan,               they               won't               expect               mounds               of               gifts.
               You               may               choose               to               request               a               wish               list               from               each               person,               with               the               understanding               that               all               of               the               items               of               the               list               may               not               end               up               underneath               the               tree.
               Don't               feel               guilty               if               you               are               unable               to               meet               your               kid's               expectations.

Unless               you've               saved               all               year               for               big               ticket               items,               you               may               not               be               able               to               afford               everything               each               person               wants               in               time               for               Christmas.
               If               you               follow               these               tips,               you               are               not               only               on               your               way               to               being               debt               free               after               Christmas,               you               are               changing               your               spending               habits               for               a               lifetime.

    In               2000,               my               wife               and               I               were               over               $30,000               in               credit               card               debt,               with               no               hope               of               debt               relief               in               sight.

    We               owned               about               five               credit               cards,               and               each               had               several               thousand               dollars               on               them.

    Individually,               the               bills               didn't               look               so               overwhelming,               but               once               we               added               them               up               for               the               month,               our               credit               card               bills               totaled               several               hundred               dollars               that               we               couldn't               afford.

    When               Debt               Becomes               All               You               Work               For
                   The               problem               with               being               in               so               much               debt               was               that               the               budget               itself               can               be               balanced,               but               with               the               credit               card               payments               every               month,               it               places               the               overall               household               budget               off               balance.

    Even               if               you               cut               corners,               such               as               turn               off               cable               or               save               on               groceries,               your               budget               is               still               riding               on               the               very               edge               of               complete               financial               collapse.

    The               slightest               financial               crisis,               such               as               a               car               accident               or               an               unexpected               home               repair,               can               force               a               family               to               pull               out               the               credit               card,               yet               again,               and               drive               themselves               even               more               deeply               into               the               hole               of               credit               card               debt               they               are               in.
                   I'm               Trapped               By               Debt               -               What               Can               I               Do?
                   Debt               can               destroy               families.

    While               that               may               sound               dramatic,               it's               actually               true.

    According               to               Federal               surveys,               57               percent               of               marriages               end               in               divorce               due               to               financial               problems.

    Debt               creates               tremendous               levels               of               stress               and               anxiety,               and               that               stress               can               lead               to               serious               health               issues               down               the               road.

    Debt               is               not               only               a               financial               matter.

    It               affects               family               relationships               and               their               health.

    This               is               why               it's               so               important               to               break               free               from               debt,               and               remain               debt               free.
                   While               it               might               feel               like               an               insurmountable               task               when               it's               faced               head-on               and               in               its               entirety,               it               really               isn't.

    When               we               were               burdened               by               such               a               tremendous               debt               load,               and               after               taking               the               time               to               calculate               the               total               value               of               our               debt,               we               simply               sat               in               shock.

    At               that               moment,               it               seemed               inconceivable               that               it               might               be               possible               to               pay               it               all               back               in               one               lifetime.

    In               the               end,               we               did               pay               off               the               $30,000               in               debt               which               we               owed,               but               in               doing               so,               we               had               captured               a               very               important               piece               of               wisdom               about               debt               and               finances.
                   10               Steps               to               Debt               Relief
                   I               am               going               to               share               10               important               steps               with               you               that               the               credit               card               companies               would               prefer               that               you               don't               know.

    The               reason               they               don't               want               you               to               know               these               secrets               is               because               once               you               learn               them               and               put               them               into               practice,               you'll               have               broken               free               from               the               clutches               of               credit               card               debt.
                   #1               Never               pay               the               minimum               -               Being               the               engineer               that               I               am,               I               decided               to               determine               how               long               it               would               take               to               pay               off               all               of               the               debt               if               we               only               paid               the               minimum               versus               if               we               paid               just               $50               more               each               month.

    Without               the               extra               payment,               it               would               have               literally               taken               us               about               30               years               to               pay               off               the               debt.

    Just               adding               $50               to               the               overall               payment               decreased               that               amount               of               time               by               10               years.
                   #2               Put               an               end               to               the               high               rates               right               now               -               Whenever               you               sign               up               for               department               store               credit,               or               if               you've               had               a               card               for               a               long               time               and               might               have               missed               a               payment               or               two,               your               interest               rates               can               potentially               rise               up               to               24%               or               more.

    This               sort               of               interest               makes               it               impossible               to               pay               off               the               bill.

    If               your               credit               is               good,               find               a               low-rate               offer               and               open               up               one               more               credit               card,               transferring               all               high               interest               rate               cards               onto               the               fixed               low-interest               rate               card.


                   
                   #3               Cut               up               the               cards               -               Once               you               are               finished               transferring               all               of               the               loans               and               confirming               that               all               of               your               interest               rates               are               reasonable,               put               the               cards               away,               never               to               be               used               again.

    If               you               don't               trust               yourself,               then               simply               cut               up               the               cards               and               throw               them               away.

    The               only               way               you               will               experience               true               debt               relief               is               by               completely               avoiding               the               use               of               credit.


                   
                   #4               Reorganize               your               budget               to               live               within               your               means               -               Closely               examine               your               household               budget,               as               well               as               your               actual               spending               patterns               from               your               bank               statements.

    Once               you               have               a               good               picture               of               where               your               money               is               going               and               what               parts               of               the               budget               are               unreasonably               high,               it's               time               to               start               cutting               as               many               things               out               of               the               budget               as               you               can.


                   
                   #5               Watch               the               credit               card               statements               very               closely               -               Credit               card               companies               play               nasty               tricks.

    It's               a               proven               fact.

    In               fact,               in               2007               and               2008,               Chase               customers               reported               that               Chase               bank               had               modified               the               due               dates               of               consumers'               bills               so               that               those               customers               who               typically               paid               the               bill               the               same               time               every               month               would               end               up               being               late.

    Why               would               Chase               do               such               a               thing?

    They               did               it               for               two               reasons.

    If               a               person               pays               off               their               bill               every               month,               then               this               would               force               them               to               at               least               incur               a               late               fee.

    If               a               person               has               a               large               revolving               debt               with               a               very               low,               fixed               interest               rate,               it               would               allow               Chase               to               back               out               of               the               "fixed               rate"               agreement.


                   
                   #6               Use               the               Snowball               Technique               -               The               single               most               effective               technique,               which               worked               very               well               for               us,               was               to               start               out               paying               about               $50               (or               however               much               you               can               afford)               more               than               the               minimum               on               the               card               with               the               lowest               balance.

    On               the               remaining               cards               you               continue               paying               the               minimum.

    Once               that               balance               is               paid               off,               take               that               previous               payment               you               were               making               to               that               card,               and               add               it               to               the               card               with               the               next               highest               balance.

    By               doing               this,               we               were               able               to               pay               off               our               debt               in               five               years               -               while               it               would               have               taken               us               over               20               years               had               we               only               paid               the               minimum               payment               on               all               of               them               for               the               whole               time.


                   
                   #7               Monitor               your               debt               closely.

    Always               know               how               much               you               owe.

    Far               too               many               people               don't               even               pay               attention               to               the               balance               of               their               debt.

    This               makes               it               far               too               easy               to               continue               using               the               credit               card,               because               if               you               don't               know               the               damage               that               already               exists,               it's               much               easier               to               do               more               damage.

    Force               yourself               to               look               at               the               balance               on               the               credit               card               bill               whenever               it               comes               in,               and               tally               up               what               you               owe               in               total               for               the               month.

    Keep               a               running               list               from               month               to               month               so               you               can               watch               your               debt               relief               progress.


                   
                   #8               Be               careful               not               to               relapse.

    Some               people               who               are               devoted               to               paying               off               their               credit               card               debt               do               exceedingly               well,               until               some               major               event               like               Christmas,               or               a               new               baby               comes               along.

    During               major               holidays               or               life               events,               people               find               it               much               easier               to               convince               themselves               that               using               debt               to               pay               for               things               is               "necessary."               Remember               -               debt               was               never               necessary               for               survival.

    Years               ago,               families               used               to               put               money               in               their               savings               accounts               so               that               they               could               eventually               buy               the               things               they               want.

    The               need               for               instant               gratification               wasn't               so               epidemic               back               then.

    So               good,               in               fact,               that               you               may               even               consider               swearing               off               all               forms               of               debt.

    You               may               consider               using               your               savings               account,               instead               of               a               credit               card,               to               buy               things               like               your               next               car,               for               college               tuition.

    It               is               possible               to               survive               without               using               credit.

    These               will               serve               as               a               reminder               of               the               things               that               you'll               be               able               to               easily               save               for               very               quickly               when               you               don't               have               to               send               such               a               large               chunk               of               your               paycheck               to               the               credit               card               companies.
                   Most               importantly,               never               give               up.

    There               may               come               a               time               when               the               credit               card               company               tries               something               underhanded               to               charge               you               finance               fees.

    Always               call               and               complain.

    And               if               they               don't               remove               the               charge,               do               a               balance               transfer               to               another               credit               card,               taking               advantage               of               a               low               fixed               rate               transfer               offer               (make               sure               the               transfer               fee               has               a               maximum               limit.)               Remain               mindful               of               your               interest               rates,               and               never               let               them               increase               on               you.
                   Staying               mindful               of               your               debt,               and               working               hard               to               completely               wipe               out               your               debt               for               good,               will               pay               off               in               the               long               run               in               ways               that               you've               never               imagined.

    A               debt               free               life               doesn't               have               to               be               just               a               pipe               dream.

    It               can               be               a               reality,               and               far               more               quickly               than               you               ever               thought               possible.

                   Some               of               the               most               frequently               asked               personal               finance               questions               during               this               difficult               economy               revolve               around               "how               to               budget",               "how               to               make               a               budget"               and               "how               to               live               on               a               tight               budget".

    Budgeting               your               money               successfully               is               crucial               to               flourishing               in               any               type               of               economy,               much               less               a               tough               one.

    There               is               a               common               misconception               that               good               budgeting               depends               upon               fancy               forms,               financial               expertise,               software               programs               and               solely               on               one's               income.

    All               of               these               false               notions               completely               circumvent               the               only               true               goal               of               any               personal               budget:
                   Getting               the               most               value               for               each               of               your               hard               earned               dollars.
                   Those               misguided               beliefs               above               are               the               key               reasons               why               many               people               are               much               worse               off               than               they               should               be,               regardless               of               income               levels,               financial               knowledge               or               familiarity               with               budget               software.
                   There               are               many               people               who               are               much               "better               off"               with               a               lower               income               and               a               simple               budget               form               than               those               with               great               salaries               and               top-notch               computer               programs.

    These               successful               folks               are               the               ones               who               have               learned               the               secret:               Keenly               stretch               your               dollars               without               sacrificing               quality               or               "good               living".

    This               is               the               foundation               for               our               budgeting               method               and               it               is               the               best               method.

    It               is               the               most               effective               most               because               it               combines               the               three               critical               budgeting               elements:               Cost-cutting               without               sacrifice,               timing               your               income/expenses               and               simple,               accurate               recordkeeping.

    We               have               been               successfully               managing               a               household               budget               for               nearly               30               years               and               have               survived               many               unforeseen               "bumps               and               bruises"               along               the               way.

    During               that               time,               we               paid               off               our               mortgage               eight               years               early,               sent               two               children               through               college,               managed               to               save               a               good               deal               of               money               and               maintained               a               nice               standard               of               living.

    There               were               no               magic               tricks               involved,               just               common               sense,               a               few               simple               forms               that               we               developed               (included               in               instructions               below)               and               a               little               effort.

    We               have               read               countless               "How               to               Budget"               books               and               articles               over               the               years               and               while               a               select               few               were               beneficial,               the               majority               we               simply               dismissed               out               of               hand.
                   Unfortunately,               most               budget               or               personal               finance               "experts"               approach               cost-cutting               from               the               standpoint               of               scaling               back               on               items               and               niceties               as               a               first               choice,               as               opposed               to               a               last               resort,               as               it               should               be.

    One               author               for               a               popular               financial               web               site               even               suggested               to               eat               a               sandwich               or               snack               before               going               out               to               dinner               because               you               would               be               less               hungry               and               therefore               save               some               dollars.

    Taking               this               "logic"               just               a               step               further,               why               not               just               stay               home               and               save               even               more?

    It               is               this               type               of               lazy               journalism               and               advice               that               keeps               people               meandering               on               the               path               to               mediocrity.

    A               young               child               can               tell               you               that               you               can               save               money               by               buying               less               things.

    In               times               of               economic               crisis,               people               need               real               help               and               support,               not               condescending,               half-hearted               answers.

    In               any               case,               we               had               a               good               chuckle               and               moved               on.
                   
                   There               is               a               Better               Way...
                   The               Dining               Out               Example:
                   The               basic               idea               behind               going               out               to               dinner               is               to               escape               your               stresses               for               a               bit,               have               fun,               relax,               enjoy               a               change               of               scenery               and               forget               about               cooking               and               doing               dishes               for               the               evening.

    If               you               are               going               into               it               overly               concerned               about               the               financial               aspect,               you               are               nullifying               the               underlying               relaxation               intent.

    Our               approach               for               "cutting               back"               on               dining               out               expenses               is               quite               the               opposite:               Cut               only               the               bill,               not               the               quantity               or               quality               of               dinner               items.

    How               so?

    By               using               Restaurant.com,               anyone               can               cut               their               dining               bill               by               60%               every               day               and               up               to               92%               on               special               days.

    That               is               paying               8               cents               on               the               dollar.

    This               is               a               much               more               effective               approach               and               no               one               needs               to               worry               about               filling               up               on               pretzels               on               the               way               to               the               restaurant.
                   While               well-intentioned,               it               is               this               narrow,               defeatist               assertion               of               the               author               and               many               like-minded               peers               that               we               reject.

    Cutting               back               on               products,               services               and               enjoyment               to               save               money               is               not               getting               ahead,               it               is               trading               off.

    And               trading               off               is               not               the               path               to               living               better.

    We               fully               support               frugality,               with               the               added               feature               that               you               can               be               frugal               AND               attain               a               higher               quality               of               living               simultaneously.

    Certainly               you               shouldn't               waste               money               on               items               which               return               little               value               but               nor               should               you               unnecessarily               deprive               yourself               of               the               fruits               of               your               labor.

    Break               away               from               the               antiquated               "You               can't               have               your               cake               and               eat               it               too"               crowd.

    A               cake               has               only               one               purpose               and               the               trick               is               to               find               the               cheapest               high-quality               "baker".
                   It               is               this               simple               dining               out               example               upon               which               our               entire               budgeting               principle               is               based:
                   Why               spend               more               for               something               when               you               don't               have               to?
                   We               take               it               to               an               extreme               however               and               raise               the               question               to:
                   Why               spend               MUCH               more               for               something               when               you               don't               have               to?
                   Much               like               visiting               the               local               market               and               discovering               that               Joe               is               selling               a               bag               of               apples               for               10               dollars               while               John               is               selling               the               same               bag               for               3               dollars,               the               choice               is               simple.

    This               "supplier-replacement               cost-cutting               technique"               is               the               backbone               of               our               budget               plan.

    Accordingly,               we               highlight               similarly               discounted               deals               in               many               areas               of               consumer               spending.

    That               is               our               philosophy               and               this               is               reflected               throughout               our               site               and               specifically               in               our               Budget               Cutters               section.

    (See               our               Sample               Figures)               You               can               change               the               descriptions               to               match               your               own               account               and               expense               names               and               categories.

    Your               only               goal               at               this               stage               is               to               be               certain               that               you               have               all               of               your               items               listed.

    In               our               sample,               the               balance               or               "bottom               line"               is               $103.50.

    Print               out               your               form               for               your               convenience.
                   Note:               Steps               2               and               3               are               performed               only               when               using               our               budget               plan               for               the               first               time.

    Thereafter,               it               is               simply               a               3-step               process.
                   Step               2:               This               is               the               most               critical               and               the               most               overlooked               step               by               many               people.

    It               is               the               step               which               differentiates               our               plan               from               the               majority               of               others               which               emphasize               cutting               your               quality               of               life               to               save               a               buck.

    Remember               the               theme:               "Cut               only               your               costs,               not               your               enjoyment".

    This               crucial               area               requires               some               upfront               effort               and               will               be               well               worth               the               time.

    Our               Budget               Cutters               section               will               be               an               enormous               help.

    In               this               step               you               will               permanently               cut               the               "fat"               (overpaying)               and               this               is               the               foundation               upon               which               all               of               your               future               budgeting               success               depends.

    As               you               discover               big               savings               on               the               payouts               that               you               have               already               been               making,               this               money               will               fall               to               the               "bottom               line",               your               pocket...

    where               it               belongs.
                   Example:               Restaurant.com               and               TheGroceryGame.com               will               cut               your               dining               out               and               grocery               bill               by               50-92%               in               those               categories.

    Take               your               time               and               review               the               deals               that               we               have               listed               in               Budget               Cutters,               as               well               as               any               deals               that               you               may               find               on               your               own.

    When               you               have               good               estimates               for               your               cost-cutting               plan,               list               your               new               (reduced               spending)               figures               in               the               New               Budget               column               on               the               Comparison               Shop               Form.

    (See               our               Sample               Figures)               Enter               the               information               from               Step               1               in               the               Original               Budget               column.

    This               will               illustrate               your               newfound               savings               by               category.

    In               our               example,               the               new               bottom               line               is               $834.00               and               the               "fat"               trimmed               is               $730.50.
                   Note:               This               step               will               take               some               time               before               you               have               whittled               down               every               one               of               your               expense               categories.

    Do               not               fret,               use               your               best               estimate               at               this               point               and               adjust               your               figures               as               you               move               through               later               months.

    If               you               are               in               a               dire               hurry               to               get               your               budget               done               immediately,               skip               Steps               2               and               3               for               now               and               revisit               them               later.

    Bear               in               mind               the               importance               however,               as               this               is               the               key               step               which               puts               money               back               into               your               pocket.
                   Step               3:               Re-apply               the               newfound               savings,               ($730.50               in               our               sample),               to               some               of               your               critical               categories:               Debt               (particularly               credit               card               debt)               and               savings               accounts.

    These               figures               are               entered               in               the               New               Budget               column               of               the               Budget               Readjustment               Form.

    Equally               as               important,               comparison               shop               your               current               cards               for               better               deals               concerning               interest               rates               and               cash-back               options.

    Enter               your               changes               in               the               New               Budget               column.

    In               our               sample,               we               added               $370               to               Savings               Accounts,               $261               to               Credit               Card               payments               and               $100               to               Entertainment               &               Extra.

    These               choices               are               made               entirely               at               your               discretion.

    All               other               things               being               equal,               you               can               always               fall               back               on               your               credit               cards               in               an               emergency               situation.

    Also,               investigate               the               possibility               of               refinancing               your               home               with               a               cash-out               option               to               pay               down               your               card               balances               as               well.
