That’s a lot of new kids coming into the family at once :) I wonder what the “rules” are for gifts in that regard? Not that you’d need to follow them of course…

As long as you’re not regifting to the same people I don’t see any problems! :)

I haven’t tallied up the real numbers yet, but my back of the envelope total is somewhere between $600-$650 for 5 adults (dad, stepmom, mom, brother & his wife), 3 kids (older nieces and nephew), and 1 newborn. Still a little high, but not as astronomical as I think it could be.

“One of my financial goals for 2015 is to create more budgets.” – best goal I’ve ever heard! :)

HAH! You have to call him and ask – you know how lazy teens are :) But I do like the idea, I have a similar one I may try this year.

That’s the trick with joined accounts – seeing charges fly every where and trying not to look! Haha…
