Share some horror stories for those who are tempted to be big spenders this holiday season.Įmail: Speaking of purchases, my wife announced Wednesday that we’d be buying each other new silverware for Christmas. I’m fully prepared to hear all about your first, second, and third wives.

It’s what I would consider a big-ticket item that I’ve had my eyes on for years, but there’s high level of apprehension running through my body due to a fear that some sort of hard drive will die or I’ll have to take the back of the unit apart and it’ll be a complete mess. I’ve also been researching Golden Tee units that are definitely not cheap.

I was seconds away from saying, Screw it, she’ll get over the fact that I dropped $500 on a mini-bike for the 4-year-old & we ended up having to pay a massive medical bill after his first accident. I nearly had one of those moments Tuesday on my Tractor Supply trip after laying eyes on the child-size ATVs, mini-bikes and UTVs. It’s that time of year when impulse buying kicks in gets the best of us, even those who think they’re grounded with their money and would never get caught dumping a pile of cash on something that turns out to be a money pit.
