I'm broke and in debt.
Fortunately my husband's saved the money for our son's Christmas. And fortunately we keep our money separate. Grin.

I am the queen of internet shopping. Last year I don't think I set foot in a store. Okay, maybe once.
I buy a lot of gifts at www.amazon.com and some at www.natashascafe.com. Natasha's Cafe has lots of interesting, unusual things for those unusual people on your list.
I buy for my mom, dad, brother, and fiance (and his birthday is the week after Christmas). He and I usually go in together on gifts for his folks. His family is huge and so they always draw names. I am not included in the drawing this year which means that everyone buys me presents. :-) When we are married then I will be included in that.
I am debating getting my bridesmaids Christmas gifts this year. I am really into making gifts like bath salts or cookies for people like co-workers. I figure if I can keep everything around $250 this year, I'll be okay.

Tight budget since no little ones involved. In my opinion Chrismas is for kids. Greg and I got a house, new cars, furniture, etc. That takes care of birthdays anniversaries for a lot of year. And my grown children said no thank you not exchanging gifts too much debt from two and my oldest daughter could afford anything she wants. I will try and get something for my youngest 3l yr old daughter though. And my teen grandkids which will be a problem since they are going through a divorce [my Son and his wife mother of them} Don' even have their addresses. Greg's family sets a $50 limit per family. Fondly, Phillipa

I need a budget. The bills are piling up. I spent money without a budget and now I am freaking out over bills.
