Yes, we are on a fixed income. With 6 children and 13 grandchildren it is going to be a lean year.

We talk about cutting back every year, but it never really seems to happen. This year it HAS to happen tho. OUr high school band is going to DisneyWorld the day after Christmas. That trip alone is costing us a small fortune. So we've already told Keith that he is getting the trip and a couple of outfits for Christmas and that is it. Justin will be 22 by then, so it is also time to cut way back for him. And Walt and I have no needs and very few wants. So this is the perfect year to truly cut back. Gonna do it this time!

If your really careful and use practiced coordination, you can give 50 bucks to one family member with the understanding that they will turn around and give that 50 to another, and another. With luck and some very subtle threats, you should end the day with your 50 bucks back!
