How much have u spent on xmas presents????

We usually sepnd about $1000 a year. We have a set amount that we spend on each person we are buying for, so that we don't get carried away with spending.

Well, We had a large family, and to insure that we always had money for Christmas, I developed an idea to save money all year long, so when Christmas came around, we were never short of money, and this always made the kids happy!! All I did was figure out how much money I wanted for Christmas, which at that time was 600 dollars, So every month, I would put 50 dollars in a savings account, I always figured out one way or another a way to make sure I put that amount in the bank!! And you know what, that idea,helped me with other aspects of our expenditures! When ever we wanted to buy a large ticket item, that's the strategy I used to accomplish that! When we needed a car, I put 50 dollars a month in a savings account, until I got the down payment to finance one! When we needed any furniture or appliances, I would put 50 dollars a month in a savings account, until we had enough money to buy it! Anything that I anticipated we were going to need in the future, I started a savings account for it and usually had the money for it!! And now my grandchildren enjoy all those presents at Christmas, because my kids learned it from Me!!

This year including my present from my fiance and his present from me and of course presents for all nephews and neices and of course our son probably came to around $600.
