Budgeting for Christmas

Thanks to Lemuel Craft

My husband and I decided that for Christmas this year we are going to set a budget and stick to it. Every year we pick an amount that we promise to “stay around”, but every year we go over and end up regretting it because we spend months getting caught up on our credit card bill. We have decided not to buy each other gifts this year and to only buy our kids gifts. I have always enjoyed buying my husband gifts, but the past few years he has been really hard to shop for because there is never anything that he wants. He has more clothes than he could ever wear and he is not, nor has he ever been into electronics. He did tell me that the greatest gift I could give him for Christmas is to save money. I thought of a creative way to do that and looked up “Gexa Energy in Woodway Texas “ online and found out that we are eligible for fixed-rate energy. He will be so happy when he gets our next electricity bill and sees that I actually did get him what he wanted before the holidays were even here.
