Just having a moment. I am very fortunate by the way, I know how lucky I am and this is what I’m worried about !
My kids are December / January birthdays and there’s Christmas in the middle of it. Both of my siblings are early January (twins) and have their 30th. So Christmas , my eldest a birthday, my siblings birthday then my youngest
It’s a lot and I try my best to refrain from BNPL/credit as when younger I was a spend thrift and got lots of debt. I’ve learned but this month I’ve had no choice. There is so much to get for so many different people and I feel
guilty for doing BNPL (and like I say I am fortunate, I can sort it both on December and January payday) but I have shame about any sort of credit / BNPL
I know it’s not the gifts that matter, it’s not just that it’s just I want each occasion to be special. Even food Christmas dinner is so expensive but worth it
i want to enjoy this really festive time and not stress. But feel like I’m in the same boat as many
Again I’m so fortunate, that I can do Christmas dinner and get people presents. I am definitely not moaning about that! Just wanted to kind of do a post for anyone overwhelmed by it all to just say - me too!
