Actually, I just got finished with Christmas shopping for my kids... but hey, the economic future of our country is important too.


So, on that subject you're ok with throwing another metric asston of debt on your kids and their kids and so on because they are getting some benefit? What benefit do you consider to be worth the burden to your kids?

But for the Christmas stuff we did really good this year. We decided we'd only use our change jar for Christmas this year. No exchange with parents/siblings this year, just kids. The money the adults usually spend on eachother was pooled together with donations from our clients and we adopted a couple families from a local battered mothers shelter.

They can have the benefit of paying off the debt I incur buying their Christmas presents.
