Have you started budgeting for the holidays?  There’s a lot to prepare for, but it should start with a budget.  Don’t you agree?

Have you started to plan financially for the holidays? EveryDollar is FREE software that can help you start budgeting for the holidays and keep you on track. livelaughrowe.comI’ve shared a couple of posts with you over the past year in regards to Every Dollar and budgeting and managing your finances.  As the holidays are rolling in, it’s time to consider evaluating your budget for the additional expenses that come with entertaining, gift exchanging and travels.

It has been an extremely busy fall so far — and with that, fall has put additional costs within our budget. After many years in ministry serving in a Pastoral Care role in Wayne, NJ, I am super excited to FINALLY have my recently retired parents in their new Missouri home.  They officially reside in Springfield, MO — only 3 hours from St. Louis.

We decided to bless them by covering the cost of material and labor for some of the renovations they wanted to do to in their retirement home. By adjusting our budget to take some money out of our restaurant category, cutting back on some of our miscellaneous expenses, we were able to easily absorb the additional cost of materials and gas since we made several trips from St. Louis to Springfield in October.  The best part being that we were able to do this without any significant stress.

Well, Everydollar.com allows the flexibility of creating new and deleting old categories from month to month. So for the months of September and October what was a renovation category has now given way to Holiday Entertaining and Christmas Giving categories.

Simply copy the previous month’s budget, delete any obsolete categories copied over, and create the new categories.
