It’s Day 5 of the Christmas Budgeting Series and it saddens me to think that this is the last day of this amazing series. We started out looking into the past so that you can learn what you did and use that information to create a budget for Christmas. We talked about the true meaning of Christmas and creating your own personal family mission for the season so that you are able to enjoy the season rather than wear yourself out from all the craziness of the holiday. Yesterday we talked about 3 ways you can fund your Christmas budget, and today on the last episode of the series we are going to create your Christmas Spending Plan. 

Earlier we created a budget allocating how much money goes into which holiday category, but today we are going to jump into each category so that you know what you plan on buying, where you plan on buying it, if you’re going to use a sale and so much more. 

We get off budget when we only have a budget to follow. If you want to be able to stick to your budget, you have to have a spending plan so that you know what you’re looking for and you can easily get it. Think of it like meal planning. When you know what you’re going to eat, it’s so much easier to stay on budget compared to when you go in without a grocery list and end up buying everything that sounds good.
