We do a christmas club every year so we don't have to use the credit cards. Otherwise I would also be sick to my stomach waiting for the bill to arriveChat Icon



Yep. Same here. It's a lifesaver.Chat Icon

I'm starting one in 2008 a christmas club, because i alway's do the shopping.

How nice!! Is one of the plasmas in front of the treadmill? That would be so nice to be able to work out at home, in a nice finished room, with a tv all set up!

Great Christmas present!

No, because I never charge what I can't pay off in a month.

Every month:) I started buying in November so my bills have been pretty consistant. If I waited to do it all at once then it would have been crazy.

If it takes two months to pay off - not so bad.

Re: Is anyone else scared to get your credit card bill

It was more of a shock to see it bc we had just replaced our heating system & charged it 3 weeks before Christmas. Luckily enough, we stuck to budget on the Christmas shopping...

not this year, but I've been there.
I don't buy as much as I did years ago, my focus has changed.
I charged some clothes for my kids but paid it already. everything else I paid cash or used debit. Its kinda weird getting to a point where I can afford to spend more than I used to but I don't.
There were years when my son was little that I used layaway for months before christmas to buy all of his gifts.

ME!!!!

because we always pay our Credit cards in full every month. We never carry a credit card balance.

We worked very hard on cleaning up my credit....(his was fine) don't ever want to go down the bad credit street again.
