I've always saved for Christmas out of the last few paychecks, but I'm determined to be more disciplined next year as well. :)Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-55826049857167380692012-12-12T18:52:10.612-05:002012-12-12T18:52:10.612-05:00That's a great list of goals, Tanner .

But I didn't really budge besides the water weight, and I was quite disappointed. It doesn't seem group bettings encourage me a whole lot, sadly. Too bad, because they're so much fun.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-89807920087867858752012-12-12T18:18:08.809-05:002012-12-12T18:18:08.809-05:00I could do that; the problem is that my budget is ...I could do that; the problem is that my budget is pretty set on stone. Every single penny is accounted and pretty much paid in full the moment I get it, except my $150 "personal" budget (which pays for my gas, food and personal items/entertainment/Murphy) for 2wks. I guess I could loosen the budget too... good point.Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075300256482920618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-39892733893881769352012-12-12T18:01:11.048-05:002012-12-12T18:01:11.048-05:00If you start saving for Christmas on Jan 1...and d...If you start saving for Christmas on Jan 1...and do an auto debit into an ING account....you will just get used to having less money. The first few times it will hurt, but you WILL get used to it. If you get paid every other week...do $35 a paycheck. I promise, you will not miss it after awhile. If you wait to see what you have left over....you never will have "left over."Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-13898659002776980002012-12-12T17:55:48.766-05:002012-12-12T17:55:48.766-05:00maybe we should do one of those diet bet things? h...maybe we should do one of those diet bet things? have you seen it: dietbet.com i'm sure we could get other bloggers to join! let me know if you're interested...Newlyweds on a Budgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10165059665185786849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280346434931210633.post-12436439269971927862012-12-12T17:54:57.124-05:002012-12-12T17:54:57.124-05:00i was like you, in that i saved several hundred fo...i was like you, in that i saved several hundred for christmas, but didn't start until late october, so i was rushing to save up. I plan on saving $800 for next year. At first $80 a month seems like a lot, but if i divide it by the two paychecks each month, thats only $40 a paycheck. does your company do direct deposit? my company automatically splits up my paycheck into my checking and savings, so it's like i don't even have that money. <br />i also hope to lose weight next year!
