I usually do for friends to help with budgeting, but for my immediate family I tend to just buy things I see that make me think of them without setting a limit. What do you do?

I do not over spend and have not done so in years. I prefer some of the gifts that you can make at home. Sometimes making a scrap book for a special friend or family member, I also collect those candle jars. After they are emptied , I clean them in the dishwasher. After that, I put the dry ingredients for a special holiday gift receipe in it. Decorate it with a bow and write on a little card the instruction of what to add for the rest of the receipe.
Another idea, I make my own Christmas Cards. i got the scrap book tools any how, so it makes a great impression is so much personal .
During the year, I do my Christmas shopping in the store. And have done that for years. You do not see me in the stores with all these folks shopping for the last present. Nope , I am done with my by Thanksgiving. And they are stored away and wrapped and ready to go. Sorry for typos waiting for my eye surgery. Well, dear Merry Christmas . Greetings from Utah.

I wish with all my heart that I were able to buy everyone the best gifts I see for them but sadly my financial situation doesn't warrant it. I always start my gift buying early in the year but am still only able to spend a limited amount. I am very lucky as my family all appreciate my situation. I am a fairly new homeowner and with housing prices as they are, I pay a considerable sum on my monthly mortgage. I only hope my situation changes in the near future so I am lucky enough to buy what my family deserve rather than what I can afford.

On a instructors revenues, spend no extra beneficial than 25 to 50 funds on prompt kinfolk. For in-rules, spend extra like twenty. Twenty or much less on all the nieces and nephews. it extremely is in simple terms too many to purchase for on that style of revenues! attempt shops like Burlington Coat production facility and Marshalls, they'd have effective issues at extra fee-effective fees.

Limits -- but of course ... I was a Long Term Single Parent who was the SOLE income supporting all their needs (and both have disabilities) ...
Now .. as an Empty-Nesting Single Retiree .. there are STILL Limits in place and that is for sure!

I usually have limits on what I spend on everyone. I usually go a little over on my kids, but I stay pretty close.

My paycheck sets the limits.

The limit is set by the contents of my wallet, not by me.

I have the same mind set as yours for Xmas gifts.

$0.00
My Christmas gift to them is that they don't have to get Christmas gifts for me.
I'm tired of spending my money on gifts they don't like, just so I can spend Christmas morning pretending that I like the gifts they got me.
Seriously, enough is enough.
