Sorry, this offer ended. But I will be sure to let everyone know when the new ones come out. In the meantime, you can still order regular gift certificates from the site. Restaurant.com
Just wanted to wish everyone out there a Happy and Healthy Christmas! I look forward to what is to come in the New Year.
Stay safe and don’t spend all your Christmas money in one place.
Even the government wants you to plan out your finances (to be sure you pay your taxes, no doubt) and are offering up a free financial planning kit via download. From the site:
“Imagine putting aside extra money each month. Don’t think it’s feasible? Look no further than the coins rattling around in your pocket. Learn about the different ways you can develop and improve your savings, investment, and retirement strategies with this free kit.”
And yes, it is legit and it is from the government, so give it a shot and see if it can help you in any way. You can get the financial kit at the Federal Citizen Information Center.
In a follow up to my post yesterday about a quick and easy budget worksheet (which was very simple but helpful nonetheless), over at The Motley Fool I have just come across a free pdf download of a “Get out of Debt” worksheet. I just downloaded it and took a look, it has sections about:
Good Debt
Bad Debt
Six Steps to Elimination
Reducing Interest Rates with a phone call
Avoiding Setbacks
Debt Triage
Ok, so the holidays are going to be over soon..and whether you like that or not, it’s going to happen and life will return to normal. But before it all settles down, how can you best spend some of your after-holiday dough? (that is, if you have any left!) By buying everything for the NEXT holiday season. I was in a big store today and saw some of their Christmas things were on sale already before the holiday is even over, so I know that in the days after the holidays, everything will be on sale at huge discounts. I mean, who needs Christmas lights in months January-October? So your best bet is to go to the stores like Target, grocery stores, drug stores and hardware stores in the days right after Christmas. What can you get at 50-80% off retail price (at least!) now so you don’t have to buy them next year?
