Simplicity is Beauty | Perfectly Imperfect

Christmas shopping here and there. Buying lot's of Christmas gifts for everyone. Christmas parties galore. And you can't do it all because you're broke!

Gosh! It's Christmas and I don't have any money. My wallet's empty and I only have some coins in my coin purse! What will I do? I want to buy gifts for my loved ones and godchildren, and I have a Christmas party to attend to on the 22nd (exchange gift needed and food to bring). I need money to do all that. I don't care if I can't buy anything for myself, all I'm thinking is them: my family, godchildren, my best friend and the Christmas party. At the very least, I should give them something, anything. Cheap yet useful (that I know they're going to like/love) is good. It's the thought that counts right? I know I can find something, I just need the money.

Anyway, it's a good thing that an angel helped me. Yes, just to buy gifts, I'm in debt now! But it's ok. Christmas is just once a year, a season when we drown ourselves with alcohol, food and parties with friends and loved ones. It's also the season when we spend too much and prices go high (that's why a lot of people are in debt). Well, at least for me, my debt is not too big, I can pay it within 2 working days on January. I hate debt and I only borrow small amounts to someone very close and pay them back asap. It's just that I really need it now and I don't have the money, that's why I did it.

Well, I hope you wouldn't be in a situation like this. The smart thing to do is always stick to your budget. That way, you wouldn't need to borrow money from anyone. And always remember that expensive is not always good. Christmas gifts are cherished not because of it's price, but because it came from you. Happy Holidays everyone!
