In previous years, I would create a long list of financial goals, only to have little accomplished by the end of the December.

Since we use credit cards for almost all of our purchases, we are paying the bills now for our Christmas presents. And even though we have the money to pay the bills off completely, I am still a bit queasy as I push the send button on my online bill payer. What makes me cringe is realizing how much we spent on Christmas in 2010.

It’s so easy to get caught up in all of the bargains that stores throw at us in November and December. But if those gifts were paid with a credit card that doesn’t get paid off as soon as the bill arrives, any savings from store sales, coupons, and/or rebates might be negated from the interest accrued.

We ran the numbers of the purchase and they looked great on paper, but paper doesn’t account for a new server, a roof leak, unexpected medical bills, and other calamities.
