The month of June has always been a crazy month for me. With so many birthdays, and graduation parties I never know what type of gifts to get anyone. Sometimes money in a card feels like I didn’t have the time to find a gift. I have decided to do the next best thing. I get pre paid credit cards for everyone now. One year I picked up one for the little ones teacher. It makes getting gifts easier, and I think people enjoy being able to get something that they want, and not have to return what I got them. I have also tried to explain to our little one that when we go on vacation she can also use prepaid credit cards rather than carrying cash around. She doesn’t like the idea because she likes to see her money.
Whoda thunk?

Still don’t like the idea–too quantifiable; makes for comparisons. Besides no bargain shopping this way.
