So today came the day when I was going to go shopping for Xmas presents...
Well I decided to check my bank account via the iphone before I walked into a store I planned on going into..
To my dismay, my checking account was unexpectedly low.
I have 26$, And I have about 6 people I need to get presents for. One includes my 6 month old niece.. I just got payed on the 11th, It was an unusual week and I got 228 into my checking. I wont get payed again until the 25th...
And here is the dilemma that's killing me. I've been saving for a crawler box for the past 2.5 months. I have 550 saved up. I get payed every 2 weeks, normal pay is around 500 and I have 100 of that going to the savings each payday. So my calculations put me at late april to buy a built crawler, IF I dont touch my savings at all.. Now, I've normally been very frugal with my cash, I couldn't save up to save my life. So saving up 550 is a bit of an accomplishment. Here's where the moral advice come's in. Knowing that christmas is about not being greedy and giving, What would you do ? It would kill me to see the savings money deplete, knowing that it's going to take that much longer to save for my buy..
Knowing im going to sound like a puss, IDC. Im really on the verge of breaking down, this year was supposed to be the first year I could actually buy people gifts with my own money. IDK what I should do.
Thanks for advice, Yall in a way are my mentors, that's why I've come here for help.
