The Spending Freeze in 2020
I feel like I owe you a little update on our infamous spending freeze. I know I mention it a lot - but I haven't really talked about it since we kicked it off last January. So here's what's up - how it's going so far, where we're at a solid year into the spending freeze (more like a spending ice age, I guess), where we're headed from here, a few pro tips we've picked up to help you nail your own spending freeze, and even the unexpected benefits we've found in the midst of our freeze.

Christmas Budget Printable
Every year we set a Christmas budget.
Every year we go in with good intentions.
And every year we blow it.
Our track record is pretty abysmal. But not this year. With Dave Ramsey in our back pocket, we've set a budget that's lower than ever. And we are fighting tooth and nail to stick to it. We've talked to family about switching to a secret Santa system so everyone can spend less. We're limiting ourselves to the "Four Gifts" for our own kids (something they want, something they need, something to wear, something to read). And we are so excited to say goodbye to both excess spending and excess stuff.
So I made this handy budget printable to help me keep track of what we have, what we need, what we've spent, and how much is left. And I'm sharing it as a free download today so you guys can join us in kicking Christmas debt to the curb! I also have a few budgeting tips to share, plus a video to walk you through exactly how we use each sheet.
