Ah, the Christmas shopping season. I enjoy shopping to find the perfect gift for other people, although having to make up a list of things that I want is less enjoyable. Ever since I started making money on my own, I’ve just been able to buy whatever I wanted to without having to ask. It makes it troublesome to have to sit down, come up with an list, and try to get other people to get things for me.
So, now I need to figure out what I should add to my list of potential Christmas presents. I’ll have to find something that will be useful, fairly inexpensive, and easy to find during this Christmas rush. Frankly, I don’t know what to suggest to my friends and family. Maybe I’ll just comb through my Amazon wish list for some books I’ve hankering to read. Then, it’s back to shopping for other people!
On that note, let’s see how much expenses look, so I know how much I have available to spend:
Not too bad; my net worth declined, but it was also the start of the month, which means rent time. Frankly, if it weren’t for a stock market that’s still going strong, I wouldn’t be doing as good as I am right now. I’m pretty happy about the way things are going right now, financially, which is always a good place to be.

Hey Rog – I’ve got two copies of one great book to giveaway EVERY week for the next four weeks. What’s better than a free great book? Just got to keep a look out for it.
Free books has been one of the most rewarding gift I’ve received as a publisher. On my coffee table now are 8 books I’ve been sent by authors. Hence, perhaps I’ll have 8 consecutive weeks of book giveaways to readers, but I have to pace myself!
