on 11/5/2008 RE: How To Save Money For Christmas

Hi Everyone -

If you haven't stashed away any cash for Christmas presents, try this to make some extra money immediately…

It's no secret that one of the fastest ways to generate some quick cash is to sell stuff around the house that you don't use anymore . . .

But even if you're an Olympic gold medalist "pack rat" like me, you'll soon run out of things to unload.

So go to http://www.ExtraMoneyForChristmas.com and download my FREE report that explains one of the absolute best strategies I know for finding an endless supply of items at NO cost.

In the mini-report, you will learn *exactly* how to find FREE stuff to sell . . .

Then it's up to you whether to have a garage sale, advertise for free on Craigslist or hold an auction on eBay . . . whatever cash you rake in will be almost pure profit!

Hope that helps ...

Merry Christma

on 12/4/2007 One thing that has really helped me and my family is making money online:

It has been an absolute God send and keeps me from going into any debt.

on 8/8/2006 Starting in early January, have everybody in your family put a twenty dollar bill in a box, then store the box away in a safe place until the next month. Each month, all those twenties will add up, then when it's time to go Christmas shopping, get the family together to make lists of things everybody wants for Christmas. Divide the money evenly, depending on the number of people in your family. Give everybody in your family an envelope to put their money and their Christmas lists in before you leave to do your shopping. This way, everybody has enough money to buy gifts for each other for Christmas.

on 11/30/2005 Shop at speciality, one-of-a-kind stores and you can keep what you spent a mystery...If you shop at the Gap, everyone knows what you spent because everyone has a Gap or can look at gap.com...If you shop at the little neighborhood store, no one knows if you spent $20, $40, or $60

on 11/22/2005 Start saving right after Christmas. Buy things that people want then too. Keep saving and buying, and when next Christmas rolls around, people will say, "Are you ready to go to the mall, Johnny", and you can say you are done. You will even get the credit.

on 11/22/2005 Shop for Christmas all year round. If you see something on sale, go for it! I shop while I'm on vacation and even when at "one day" sales. By December, your closet will be chock full of presents! Then you can concentrate on Christmas dinner.

on 11/22/2005 I shop for my whole family. I start in January and use a notebook to write down what each person would like. (Get hints from spouses & siblings.) I can get great deals throughout the year. I put names on them, wrap them and put them in my Christmas box.

on 11/22/2005 Forget the "perfect (expensive) gift" that will make your child/loved one's Christmas. Instead create "gift traditions" that they'll anticipate all year long: a new book (one out of a series each year), the year's events in a scrapbook, etc ...

on 11/22/2005 A Christmas fund in a bank ties up your money. What I do is shop for presents throughout the year. I buy gifts when they are on sale and when I spot the perfect gift for a person. This way, I don't have a large Christmas gift bill in December.

on 11/22/2005 Pay down your credit card debt as fast as you can - paying it all off monthly is even better - and then you'll be able to buy Christmas presents in December (as long as you budget and don't overspend). You save - you're not paying so much interest.
