I need opinions from my BBS family. I have $550 in my Christmas club acct already(and it will continue to accumulate till Nov)....should I....

A) leave it there for Christmas and have over $1000 to spend
B) buy a new computer (Sam's club has a complete bundle for $550)
C) buy school clothes
D) use it for vacation in August

I'm only getting like 1.5% interest, so that's not really a factor

Gimme your opinions, advice, experiences please??

Me personally I would save it, just leave it in there becasue I have such a hard time saving so if I had 550 bucks I would just keep it there. I would choose either saving in for vaction or X mas BUT JUST ONE WOMANS OPIONON!!!! GOOD LUCK WITH WHATEVER DESISION YOU MAKE!!!

Ok weigh your options here:

If you spend it now will you have money for x-mas?
Do you really need a new computer?
How bad do the kids need school clothes?
Do you already have money saved up for vacation?

I would answer all those questions first and decide what to do with it.Personally I would save it and have a nice X-mas.:) :)

I would save it, so I could go at one time and get all my Christmas stuff all at one time. :D

I would spend half of it on school clothes, and save the rest. If you need more than half of it to get your kids clothes, I would spend all of it and start over. School clothes were always important to me, so I'm a lil biased. :) Clothes are still important to me, actually - I'm just not in school. :D

The more mature part I try to suppress says save it. :rolleyes:
