How Much Do You Need For Christmas
A Difficult Year
This year, 2020, has been a hard year for almost everyone in the world. People have lost their jobs and homes and many people have suffered from lockdown, mental illness, loneliness, lack of medical care for other illnesses, like stroke, heart attack and cancer.
For those who celebrate Christmas, there are plans to make it the best one ever, to forget about a miserable 2020, with no social gatherings or meetings and to really blow out on Christmas.
Whether you are planning a blow out Christmas, a usual Christmas or even just a quiet time at home, it always takes money.
Savings
Have you started saving for Christmas? Maybe you have enough money for all you need each year? If not, then you could save $100 by Christmas by starting right NOW and putting $1 a day into a jar. Today is September 17th 2020 and there are now 100 days left to Christmas 2020, so just $1 a day would get you $100 by Christmas. Of course, if you gave up a coffee a day you could save $300 by Christmas. Would that help with the expenses? It could certainly buy you a turkey or other Christmas dinner, some festive cheer and even some presents.
Starting Later
Of course, you may be reading this later, if so, start saving now. Put your spare change in a jar, give up buying a coffee or a bun or buy a cheaper lunch. You can still save something and every little bit helps towards the expenses.
