Hey, this looks like fun! Problem is, I never ask for anything for Christmas (just never have... even as a child). Things are pretty tight financially this year, so I told the wifey to skip me as there is really nothing I need. I will be interested to see what everyone ends up with, though! :)
Don't feel alone Michael....for several years our Christmasses were mainly for the kids and we'd get something for each other when taxes came in.
This year is the first year in many, where we are actually able to do most of the gifting that we want.
Retirement does have its benefits. ;)
With my bride retiring in July and divesting her Publix stock, we finally have a nice little nest-egg put away. Plus, this coming July I'll be starting my SSI retirement so along with by bride's SSI we'll be fairly well set. Took 40 years of working to get here but we made it! :)
