Feeling Broke
So I love the holidays and I love giving people gifts, but it seems that this year I have so many more people to buy for than in years past all because I am now married and can no longer be included in my parents and brother's family gifts to non-immediate relatives. I think that is stupid, as DH and I could've easily pitched in, but now we're the bad guys if we don't get a separate present for aunts/uncles, grandparents, and the little baby cousin.
Needless to say, I am feeling very broke and freak out every time I look at our bank account balance since we've got a house payment coming up soon... It's like everything seems to be due all at once, and then we've got a wedding to go to next Thursday and I just feel so broke. I can't stop getting panicked whenever I think about it.
Re: Feeling Broke
The holidays can definitly be stressful when it comes to money! I have three families to shop for since my parents are divorced, and then DH's family. It really gets to be a lot. I definitly had to cut back on the amount that we spent on everyone this year, hopefully next year we'll be in a better place financially.
