I managed to pay cash for everything this year. It is a great feeling. Last year I didn’t have a job and was bartending and working odd jobs to make ends meet. I didn’t pay cash for anything. This year I put away $200 in October and November for Christmas and I well timed 6-month bonus from my “new” job took care of the rest.

Interestingly enough, my anti-spam word was ‘poor.’ Anyway, I paid cash for everything – all 40 lottery tickets for $40.

I am so glad so many people had a debt-free Christmas – imagine if everyone did the same thing. Congrats everyone!

Debt free Christmas! Actually after Christmas my wife and I walked into 2 different stores to payoff credit cards as part of our dent snowball, that was our Christmas present to each other since we only bought for the kids…

Didn’t buy gifts. We may at some point, but we don’t have kids and we don’t people that we weren’t giving and didn’t need gifts and all that…

A couple of years ago, I would have been dreading my credit card bill around this time of the year. Now, I don’t have to worry about it because all my Christmas purchases were paid for with a rewards credit card and the bill has been paid. I budgeted a certain amount of money for gifts and did not exceed that amount. I then immediately sent the payment to pay off the balance in full.
