Budget for birthdays and celebrations all year

They're not surprises, so they don't need to feel like them.

4 min read

Birthdays, weddings, graduations and baby showers happen all year, and they add up. Planning them like the holidays takes the pressure off.

A simple system

  1. List every birthday and known event for the year
  2. Set a typical amount for each
  3. Add them up and divide by twelve
  4. Save that amount every month alongside your holiday fund

Kids' parties

Smaller parties at home or in a park, a few friends instead of the whole class, and a simple theme can be just as much fun for a fraction of the cost.
