To participate in Giving Tuesday, one must spend less on the
Thursday's Turkey. One can say the two ideas are different unless they
carefully plan their finances. To have both, spending must be under complete
control and accounted for.
Nov. 29 is Giving Tuesday -- an early Christmas or a prelude
to Christmas I must say -- and I have some ideas that may help you get your
Thanksgiving and Giving Tuesday in check.
Participate In Sales Next Year
People who fill up stores during sales (especially the
recent Black Friday) are people who may know they need to slowly build up their
Giving Tuesday and Christmas gifting checklist, or they just buy things for
less in bulk. Keep an eye out for shopping centre sales next year and make a
checklist of gifts you want to give people you can get on sale for that month or
bi-week.
Allot Some Money For It
Have a simple budget. For example, if you are earning £1800
monthly, just save at least £5 a month. When these sales come, blast off. You can
freely spend this money you alloted, and you feel better spending because you
know it will make someone else happy.
Thanksgiving Always
In this way, you have enough money to spend for your
Thanksgiving dinner. Better, make people participating in your Thanksgiving
dinner pitch in to make your dinner grander than you planned. It is fun because
everyone participated, making it truly meaningful.
