If you won Tattslotto last night.
You won't need any money at all.
You may need love, companionship, time to organize your affairs, good health, children and a host of other things that money cannot always buy, but you will have the dollars.
For those of us who don't have an unlimited money supply, let us be grateful for what we do have.
The trick is getting it all together so that we enjoy it.
You can be miserable with a Tattslotto win and you can be miserable being left out whilst the rest of your mates are having the time of your life.
It is all in the organization.
All of us can use a little organization here and there so see if any of these 'Organization Tips' can release you from that grinding feeling that you're falling behind.
1.
There is no rule that Christmas should cost you megabucks.
Grab your computer and begin making lists.
The first one could look like this: Partner- 2 tickets to ballet for Easter $690 Child age 3- Bike from Target $100 on special Mum- Large photo frame with huge family photo $70 Dad- Super drill $150 Friend One- Nice bottle of sparkling wine $40 Friend Two or Chris Kringle- Department store voucher $40 Cousin One- Blow up boat for summer splashing $35 Cousin Two- DVD voucher $29 GRAND TOTAL -$1154 Notice that this big event combines Xmas with an overseas holiday.
If you are lucky enough to have a family holiday house the price could fall even further.
2.
Make up a Xmas list for what you want, just like a wedding list.
Put it on the internet and invite people to do the same.
Aren't you sick and tired of getting things that you don't like and that you have no use for? Word your email to the family as follows: "We all love Xmas, but please join us in considering a "wish list" for gifts.
This is not compulsory, just suggestions that would be thoughtful.
This is what we really would love, all designed for everyone's budget: 6 x mugs preferably with jazzed-up patterns $30 Book voucher $30 Garden trowels $17 Clothing voucher my favorite shop $50 Exercise bike $130 Dryer $399 Deposit on House $20,000 Gold class tickets for two $60 3.
Christmas Club Bank Account: It is always better late than never.
You still have time to open up a dedicated account at your bank to help handle Xmas.
As you see, it is about about Organization, Organization and Organization.
Makes life that much easier.
