The hot ads keep coming. The newspapers seem to have fancy color flyers in them each day. Late today and early tomorrow specials at Kohl's look great. Maybe I'll venture there today. Some deals start at 3pm today and run through midnight! Only to reopen with more specials at 7am tomorrow! How can one resist?
Plus, the calendar is filling quickly with special programs at church, party invitations, and family commitments. December is filling up.
That brings me to yet another budget item. Time. There are only so many hours in a day. There are only 25 days until Christmas Day. Times like these call for wise choices.
I urge you to mark off time for fun activities like a coffee shop stop downtown to watch the shoppers go by, a trip to the library or just time with a good book to escape the bustle, an afternoon to make cookies and play those Christmas CDs that sit on the shelf most of the year, or an evening to drive through the rich neighborhoods to see all the lights.
Some of these can be fit between trips to Kohl's midnight specials and those extra church services. Remember, there are few busy activities to fill the gray cold days of January and February. Take time to enjoy the season!
'til later

- Greetings! I have years, no decades, of financial experiences to share. I have a passion for education. I am a control freak in that I need to know where my $ goes. I continually ask myself do we need that, what risks are we taking with that investment, how/when can we get at our $, and just how much does Uncle Sam demand of our every earned $. Stay tuned to my life choices now and my references to life choices/experiences from my past.
