We the people would be a lot smarter to lessen our infatuation with shopping for Christmas and indebtedness for Chinese made products, and instead save more for retirement and education of our kids. The former just dumbs us down and ultimately makes our country poorer.
Depends on how much you spend. I have just laid out 0.007897% of my money on Christmas presents.
(There’s nothing like spreadsheets!)
I do very little Christmas shopping and it’s all tiny stuff for the grandkids. I was done the Monday after Thanksgiving. One small trip.
