  mummifiedtimesfive.net — Authority: 120
  My bank offers a Christmas Club account. I’m not sure what the interest rate is on it but I do know that you’re given one free withdrawal each year if you want to withdraw funds before November, and any withdrawals after that have a $5 fee. I TRY not to withdraw out of that account but in the past, unforeseen ...

  Sandwiched — Authority: 99
  If you’re a procrastinator like me, this idea is a gem! To give you an idea of how bad I can be, when I has Little Sis 5 years ago, the midwife suggested to me that perhaps the reason both of the girls were born a week and a half past their due dates is my tendency to put things off. She was serious. So this is ...

  It’s pretty much inevitable. You are out shopping this time of year at a major retailer, and after your total is announced, you hear this next: “Would you like to save XX% today by opening a [insert name of store] card?” I always know when it’s coming.

• WFMW: the one where I am anti-tradition

  
  Run the Earth, Watch the Sky... — Authority: 126
  Well, not exactly ANTI. Does your family have Christmas traditions? Do the same things every year, eat the same foods, have the annual rituals that must not be tampered with or risk having the entire holiday "ruined"? Our family never really did. Between my mom being an RN in a hospital working weird shifts when ...
