Christmas is Coming!

We have 47 days until Christmas. I know that some of you are completely finished with your Christmas shopping and others haven't started at all. If you have started your Christmas shopping do you know that you're going to blow right past your Christmas budget?

A new nationwide survey from Sallie Mae, asked more than 500 parents if they plan on sticking to their budget for Christmas . . . and more than HALF said no.

Only 44% of parents make a budget and stick to it.

29% say they plan on spending more than their budget . . . and 27% won't even bother to make a budget at all.

About one out of three parents say they're planning to work overtime in the next few months to pay for the holidays.  And one in four say that while they're out shopping for gifts for other people, they'll also buy some for themselves.
