Fall has definitely made it’s appearance. Leaves on the trees have been changing for awhile, but we were still enjoying temps in the 60’s and 70’s. Most of next week’s high temps are in the 40’s. Yikes. While I’m sad to see summer leave, I do look forward to turning on the fireplace and watching it snow. It also means it’s time to get serious about being ready for the holidays, both mentally and financially. I know some people save for holiday spending all year, but I just can’t get myself to do it. But, with November staring me in the face, it’s certainly time.
When do you start preparing financially for the holidays?
Fist pump for cooler weather (I think?) and my favorite posts of the week!

Travis, I have an old school “Christmas Club” account at my local credit union. $75 per pay period is taken out (every two weeks) and it sure is nice to have $2000 drop into my account in mid-October – just in time for Christmas shopping! I don’t even have to think about it the rest of the year.
I bet that is nice….I wish I could be that disciplined! Great to hear from you!
