I'm flat busted broke!!
This holiday kicked the crap out of my savings, checking and credit cards!! :cry
Why, Why, why do I spend soooo much??!! Every year I tell myself to be smart and not get crazy and every year it takes me a few months to recover from all the spending I do!! :rolleyes:
Anybody else always go waaaaaaaay overboard?
Mods are going to have to wait awhile! :cry

Re: I'm flat busted broke!! (Mr. Magoo)
Christmas has become a commercialized materialistic high-pressure load of horse crap. "Show how much you care by how much you spend." HORSE HOCKEY!
We're so burnt on the whole retail buy buy buy buy buy scramble that has become Christmas, that we didn't even put up a tree this year. You go shopping and people are rude, pushy, and selfishly thoughtless in the malls, stores, etc. Just yesterday after work my wife went to try and find something for her neice at Kay Bee's, and (she's petite) got literally bumped out of the way in ther aisle by some big fat **** beotch making a bee-line for some loot on the shelves. Not an 'excuse me', 'I'm sorry', or nothing, just a selfish grab-fest.
Merry friggin' Christmas... :nonod:

Re: I'm flat busted broke!! (Lone Ranger)
You know it funny....as much as I spend, not to mention the wife, i am actually suprised that I am not broke.
Seems like someone else must be having their checks deposited into my checking :eek:
I was set back into my place however the other day when my wifes step sister was left 3 million dollars from her grandfather...before she went to the reading of the will she was at my house, and she was nervous as heck...I was joking with her when she asked what I wanted for Christmas. I told her if shes rich by 9pm I want a new Z06, or she most likely will need a tax writeoff, and she can sponser my racing habits...she said she would think about it. :eek: Nothing wrong with mooching off the rich sister in-law. :D

:iagree:
We still do the Christmas gift exchange with the closer family members, but we've all made the decision to try to be thoughtful and wise without the extravagance ... almost a return to my childhood when we literally didn't have much. But those memories are so special ... the family gatherings, the love, the laughter. We really need to get back to the true spirit and meaning of Christmas and honor the One whose birthday we're celebrating.
Sorry to be on my soap box, but this thread struck a nerve with me.
Here's wishing to each and everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. May you be blessed many times over.

At least you have the credit to go out and buy. Mine isn't too hot thus I have to spend cash :cuss But oh well maybe in a few years it'll repair itself. :blueangel: Otherwise I'm gonna have to hook up with a girl that has great credit ;) :cool: I just hope she isn't that displeasing to the eye

Re: I'm flat busted broke!! (Mr. Magoo)
Man I went way overboard this Christmass. Spent $900 on a computer for my girlfriend and thats just the start. I don't even want to think about how much I have spent this year. The bad thing is I'm between jods right now. :cry So not sure how I'm going to dig myself out yet.

New business venture for me = no money in - it all goes out!
In years past, Christmas used to be a big headache for me. Then after too many years of getting well intentioned, but undesired, gifts it finally occured to me: Christmas gifts are for kids and your closest loved one, parents if they are still alive. For everyone else I let it be known that I had no desire for personal gifts - give to a charity in my name if you wish. Now I find myself enjoying the holidays much more, because once the gift burden is removed the meaning of holiday gatherings became more rewarding.
