Assess Your Bank Accounts The next simple thing is to look at your bank accounts; if you have several, think whether you need them all. Wouldn’t it be much simpler if you only had a few accounts, maybe a working account and one or two savings accounts? This really is saving made simple!

This is money I earned from my Christmas shopping last year, so it’s appropriate that I apply it to my Christmas savings. Also, in February, I received a check of $45 from a family member who was reimbursing us from a group gift that we took care of over the holidays. I added the check to our savings.

Our bank offers free change counting. I'm using a savings account that was used previously for another goal. By our next meeting on February 25, your first assingment is to open up a designated savings account specifically for your Christmas savings. It's awesome. So I still need $40 for this month.

One way to do this in a two income family is to live off of one income and bank the other. Figure out what you need to live and put the rest in a secure account. Put the holiday gift of cash into your account. Put the savings you made at the grocery with coupons into the savings account. We did that.

I just recently signed up for a Capital One 360 checking account and absolutely love it. You can use it as a secondary account and link it to your main banking account. You could use it as a designated savings account, such as Holiday savings. There are NO fees and NO minimum balances.

As someone who truly knows what being broke feels like , I know how stressful it can be, especially during the holidays. If you implement some of these strategies, you WILL have extra holiday cash! That’s a big chunk of extra money you can keep in your savings account during the holidays! Save your savings.

My first quarter Ebates check is always high because it includes earnings from the holidays. Back in January 2012, we set up an automatic withdraw to a new “vacation savings account” of $25 a week. Sorry this is a bit late this month! March was very good to me…I added $557.10 to our Disney fund yay!!

Basically, the idea is to avoid a post-Christmas financial hangover by putting those extra dollars away in a special holiday savings account, thereby gaining a nice cushion when the gift buying season raises its expensive head once again; Second, how about starting a fund just for the car maintenance costs?
