Who else LOVES that Jordan is back right in time for the holidays to help us out! What a queen. So happy she’s back ❤ Happy Holidays Jordan! Hope your family is blessed!
I think being honest and setting boundaries is the most important. Me and my husband told people up front we buy for kids in the family that are 18 and under. And we give to a charity or if someone in our family or friend circle was in needs. Otherwise, we don’t do gifts on Christmas outside of a card, with the exception for my husband chipping in for gift for his boss. It’s cut throat to some, but I feel like most people are actually happy about this because they also don’t feel obligated to spend more money or try to find a gift.
This year has been so much better because I saved my credit card cash back for the whole year just to buy presents. It was almost enough to cover everyone so I just needed a little extra which is totally better for me than spending it all at once like last year.
Notice they always end up playing with the wrappers, boxes for tents/cars or paper towel lining for swords! Too many gifts is unnecessary. Plus they get gifts from extended family too!
for the past two years I have done the five gift rule (want, need, read, share, care). it makes gifts specific and can be extremely affordable or not so it works for every budget.
We do gifts for mind, body and soul. Soul is like a thing they want that makes them happy, body is clothes and mind is usually books, but it can be something else like puzzles, games etc.
Yes!! Love the calendar return tip. Talk about holding yourself accountable. Also the experience/vacation over gifts is an incredible idea. Something everyone will remember for years!!
Question.... Would you ever be willing to do an emergency preparedness video? Just food and storage related, it doesnt have to be.... You know.... The whole shabang. I've been looking online, there aren't a lot of resources for families. I know you've mentioned in the past about doing one, just curious if you'd be willing to make content in an area that deserves some recognition and could be literally life changing for families ❤️
YES! I love this idea! People should prepare, so they don’t hoard by getting everything at once when an emergency scenario happens! We have almost no room in our apartment, but actively searching for a house and will save the video then!
Keeping track of your X-mas budget is super important. 3-5 presents per person is a great idea. I tend to prefer shopping for "needed" gifts over "wanted" gifts because they have more value for the person it's being gifted to, as opposed to buying junky gifts all the time that have a happiness life of about 3 weeks before it's never used again. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
We love experiences over gifts for our kids! And my parents, we take them out to eat without any kids, and coordinate it with my siblings. It’s so nice to have a supper with uninterrupted adult conversation!
I think the biggest tip that was missed is buying second hand gifts if you’re gifter isn’t someone who would mind although most of the time you honestly can’t tell. I found almost all the kids items second hand and did under $50 Canadian this year and that includes gt racers each, a main gift, a secondary gift, and name brand sweaters plus their stockings each child.
Yes! I wish this was more normal. I would love to get a thrifted gift! But I feel so weird thrifting gifts for others for some reason. And I just moved and the new thrift stores are not as great as my old ones 😭
I divide the gifts into categories Something to spend - usually gift card or a cash amount Something to read Something to experience with a parent- like an outing Something that is needed Something they need but don't know Something to wear. Treat bag full of goodies. This works well since they are 23 and 18 We've never gone in debt for Christmas each year. we estimate about $500 250 for each child. It's what we can afford, so we do the best we can For extended family, we spend about 30 dollars a person. Which is equivalent to about another 240 dollars on average. Merry Christmas to you all.
My kids have known about the budget since before they could talk lol! When grocery shopping my 4 an 5 year old will ask if an item they want is in budget . Or if they are looking at toys and see the price is too high they will say “ oh that’s too expensive, that’s a special gift like for a birthday or Christmas “. Kids are smart they understand quickly ! Don’t worry they are still very spoiled lol but at least they understand how money works! We tell them mommy and daddy work really hard to make the money that buys everything and they find that really cool !
Hi, Jordan! I have not watched in a while, and my budget tells the story. So here it is Dec. 31st and I am fighting to get my budget done before the new year. I've been working on it all month! I want to get back into envelopes and I needed a refresh. So here I am. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Idea for upcoming video... can you do an updated system on how you do allowance? Alllllllll things allowance related, from the twins's age all the way up to hutch. How you figure out ammounts, how often, do they have any expectations to earn it, responsibilities with it etc. I know you've done some blog posts in the past (idk about videos) but an updated one would be awesome!
Pictures of the receipts!!! Yes!!! Best tip. That’s the part I struggle with the most because I’m buying things so quickly. It’s hard to keep up and remember!
I do the 6-gifts method for my kids: (It's even like a little poem.) ❤ Sth. to wear, sth. to eat, sth. to play, sth. to read, sth. you want, sth. you need! ❤ I've learned it on some channel on YT, I think..
Early in our relationship, my now husband and I started giving a New Years trip instead of presents to each other. We still buy for others, but not for each other and we love our trip.
Hey Jordan, after seeing a news broadcast where they were talking about people and interviewing people in the street on how they were going to purchase for Christmas this year due to inflation and the rise and housing costs and everything else included. A lot of people said they were going to do a by now pay later program. Other said they were going to put it on a credit card and figure it out later! Your method works really good for those who are very disciplined and doing so. I think Christmas is very overrated. In fact, I think all holidays are overrated because the pressure for parents to come through and do certain things for their children especially those on the very low income are overly stressed out and the stigma is a negative if you don’t do a certain amount for your children! We have scrapped all holidays including Thanksgiving today, if you’re not thankful each and every day when you wake up that you’ve been giving a new day then I don’t know what else to say for anybody lol, thanks should be thankful all your around not just one day! With that being given and said we don’t do Christmas anymore I give my children $25 a month year round they can choose to save it or spend it either way it’s there to keep and if they decide to save at the end of the year they’ll have $300 for themselves! There is a little side caveat to this as of January 2024 I will start saving for a bonus gift for each one of my children, but other than that the only thing we truly celebrate honestly is their birthdays, and they get to choose where they want to eat, and they each get cash for their birthday. This makes it easy I don’t have to buy any wrapping paper. I don’t have to spend out-of-pocket money for things in my house that we don’t find very necessary! This is just our way of doing things. 5:045:06
So many great tips, I just signed up for Rakuten! Thanks Jordan!! I would love to see a video about how you do your every-other-year holiday cruise/trip, how you budget/plan for that, and what Christmas morning looks like if not doing presents. Thanks!
I do shop early but it’s mostly clothes on clearance with a few toys on clearance. Another thing I do is I check all the cash back sites to find the most back. Like today I was able to snag 20% back for Under Armour on one site then found 8% back on zwilling on a different site. It’s worth the extra couple minutes to check because both was almost 5% more than other sites
So happy to feel your energy and ideas and just You❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you make me feel productive and be productive and save some money❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
In addition to a separate bank account, I'd suggest making an annual budget. It's especially important to grab those irregular expenses like birthday parties, camp, school clothes, etc.
Great video. I love these ideas not just for Christmas but this would also be great for birthdays. I really love the idea of the vacation too I think I might try that for the Holiday season as well
October is my sweet spot for getting family and close friend gifts planned/made, and ordered between then and Thanksgiving (I usually do stuff that never goes on sale or things like photo books that have similar sales all year.) Then Thanksgiving - Christmas timeframe is all the fun/sale last minute things like stocking stuffers & gift baskets/secret santas!
Wow! Several tips I had never thought of! Thank you! These are amazing ideas! To reel in the over spending! And the creating video is perfect for my Mom who has everything already! Hahah You’re so smart!
I have a Christmas acct. I only have one kid but I use the Christmas account for his Christmas his birthday and to get my husband Christmas. We save $675 a year for all of it.
I bought gifts in September last year and was so upset because didn’t think about return window 😢 I paid out of pocket to replace 3 gifts because it was too late to return/exchange. Now I know to pay attention to return window.
I do one big gift per kid. $100 item each then a few $20 gifts and some “filler” gifts, each kid I have 2 boys. Then a blanket each and $20 per stocking
This year it was better than last year but definitely ill try ro budget better for next year with my husband lol we definitely went a bit over budget but we are near finished and its not even December 😅 already started wrapping
I am done with Christmas shopping for next spend 175 for husband and kid 37 both got 3 wrangler pants 2 shorts t shirts socks and underwear went to walmart day after Thanksgiving for stocking shaving cream razors toothbrush and toothpaste and got toothbrush and toothpaste for 1 dollars with coupons
You will pay more in Oct, Nov, and Dec because the prices will go up two or three times then when black Friday comes around it looks like a sale but it's not.
Love the tips! My fav is the holiday 'gift' idea, such amazing memories for the whole family! ❤ Having trouble accessing the rakuten link, from the UK, any idea how to get it to work?
a lot of times banks hav caveats to waive fees. ie if u put $ in a savings account every month like on autopay then they credit back the fee every month. Like every month I see the chrg for the account & then the credit back right after. Also I can use the $ in the savings account any time I want w/ no fee or restrictions. U shud go to yor bank & ask wat promos do they hav that make checking account free?
Hello Hope all is well. I have been seeing your videos foe some time now, and love the tips.... wish Rakuten would allow again Europe citiziens to subscribe. Keep safe And a MERRY CHRISTMAS To all🎄🎄🎄✨️✨️✨️😀 From Portugal 🇵🇹
Hi, some gift ideas for 11 year girls and 12 year boys. My kids r same age as your kids & there also love holiday but my hubby is a home person😢😢😢😢 Any good tips for me
It's available in other countries! Check it out. I always use it from Canada and not only during the holidays but day to day shopping like my kid's clothing and vitamins.
Great hacks, but I'm lost. I only need to think 3 gifts, 2 of them are "easy" but, my mum gift? I have no idea, she didn't need anything, didn't like experience, no clothes, no makeup, no perfume no tickets for anything... each year is harder 😞
On occasion instead of a ‘gift’ for my mum I take her out for lunch, just the two of us. I live in another state so that is perfect for us to just get some one on one time. Is there something she would like to do with you that you both would enjoy?
I was also going to suggest taking her out to do something the two of you enjoy doing or simply ask her what she would like but pose it in a if you could have anything in the world, no limit is what is missing from your life instead of a i need a gift, what would you like.
The energy in her videos makes me so stressed. So fast. Anyone agree? Not trying to be rude because I do like her content. I change the speed to .75 and it helped me hear better
I think she is a little more animated in this one than is typical maybe? But I love her quirks so it didn't bug me but maybe this one in particular was bothersome more so than some of her other vids. Maybe it is holiday energy? She does hav ADHD so mayb it is a little more pronounced here? idk
Jordan that is pretty privileged for yor kids to not want or need anything @ Xmas. It's nice wen parents actually provide everything a kid needs & also wen a kid has a way to get some of wat they want. I'm thinking it is b/c of this that yor kids want a trip & nothing more. So it is not like they r Buddah kids that r somehow above regular kids from more working class fams. I hope people don't take away from this that U R saying yor kids r a special breed & r above having "petty" wants like "other simpleton kids." For many children Christmas can be the one opp a yr they hav a chance to get something they want or even need so subbing that for a trip might b fun for them but they may hav to sacrifice other things such as clothes they want to wear or something fun like a bike. The way u said it made it sound kinda like a kid wanting some of these things was overindulgent. Mayb so if u already hav 10 hoodies in yor closet but I'm thinking that families who hav to live more meagerly might be thinking wtheck? to yor comment
@@LeahFairfield Actually, I just quickly perused your comments on this channel, and there are dozens of them, with a large amount of them of a negative and admonishing tone to others, because they share a different view than yours. You are the one seeking attention, involving yourself in nearly 90 comments from others! You make very inappropriate and condescending remarks, as well as call names . If anyone is seeking attention , it's definitely NOT me!
All the good teachers I knew would spend $200+ every year on resources, supplies, gifts for the kids, treats for the kids, decorations for the classroom… tell me what other occupation does that?
You don’t understand because you’re selfish. Do better. Be a better person. They’re spending more time with your children than you are, educating them.
Who else LOVES that Jordan is back right in time for the holidays to help us out! What a queen. So happy she’s back ❤ Happy Holidays Jordan! Hope your family is blessed!
❤ Amen!!!
Where did she go?

This is what we do!! Any credit card cash back sets the budget for the year so it motivates me to use them for rewards as i should!
We do 1 $20 gift for each kid, then 1 book and stocking stuffers. It's not much but it works for us :) I have 4 kids.
That sounds perfect actually!
I agree!!!! Let kids know 3-5 gifts are plenty!
Notice they always end up playing with the wrappers, boxes for tents/cars or paper towel lining for swords! Too many gifts is unnecessary. Plus they get gifts from extended family too!
something you want something you need something to wear something to read is what works for us
for the past two years I have done the five gift rule (want, need, read, share, care). it makes gifts specific and can be extremely affordable or not so it works for every budget.
Can you explain the care share?
I've also heard :
something u wnt,
something u need;
something to wear,
something to read.
We do gifts for mind, body and soul. Soul is like a thing they want that makes them happy, body is clothes and mind is usually books, but it can be something else like puzzles, games etc.
Yes!! Love the calendar return tip. Talk about holding yourself accountable. Also the experience/vacation over gifts is an incredible idea. Something everyone will remember for years!!
OMG, a family vacation instead of more stuff is genius!!! Thank you for sharing!

This link has a checklist for family preparedness that can help
I believe they did one… bubba with the kiddos
That would be Buba's area of expertise. Maybe do a Q & A or interview type of video with him? We haven't had him as a guest for quite a while... 👍
Yes please!!!!!

Are you planning on doing a gift haul for your kids this year? I love those videos of yours! They're really helpful as gift guides!
I actually just posted what I'm buying my kids this Christmas on my blog! It's here: funcheaporfree.com/gift-guide-kids-teens/
@@jordanpagecompanyI was reading through your blog and can't believe that Dev and Joss are 3 already! 😭

I would love to hear more about parenting. How do you prepare children for being away from you for holidays etc
My best hack is rewrapping old toys from the first kid(s) for the babies/toddlers haha
I do the 6-gifts method for my kids:

❤
Sth. to wear, sth. to eat,

Love the every-other-year Christmas trip tradition!
I would like a video on you preparing food for a holiday. Like the one you did for Easter
Early in our relationship, my now husband and I started giving a New Years trip instead of presents to each other. We still buy for others, but not for each other and we love our trip.
Wow, Americans are big on Christmas! 1 or 2, maybe 3 gifts (usually coming from someone else) are enough for me.
My husband and I love the vacation every other year. Next year we are going on a family vacay!

Love it ❤ lots of tips, thank you for sharing with us Jordan
Buy stocking stuffers and Christmas pjs the year before at the day after Christmas sales!
First!

Hey, can you do a video on tips of how to budget for a family trip for Xmas season? We actually were going to implement that for Xmas 2024!
So love this!
I do one big gift per kid. $100 item each then a few $20 gifts and some “filler” gifts, each kid I have 2 boys. Then a blanket each and $20 per stocking
I will sign up soon
Please do a new food shopping video for Christmas.....:))
This thumbnail is fab!
This year it was better than last year but definitely ill try ro budget better for next year with my husband lol we definitely went a bit over budget but we are near finished and its not even December 😅 already started wrapping
My mom has had a Christmas savings account for years.
I’ve so done that!!
Could you do a home tour?
Curious if you do "Santa"? And if so how do you explain skipping Christmas every other year? I want to do this so bad! Hahaha.
Could you share your trip ideas?
Can you do a specific video on all the methods you use or you know are good to track your budget.
I am done with Christmas shopping for next spend 175 for husband and kid 37 both got 3 wrangler pants 2 shorts t shirts socks and underwear went to walmart day after Thanksgiving for stocking shaving cream razors toothbrush and toothpaste and got toothbrush and toothpaste for 1 dollars with coupons
My local bank has a Christmas club savings account it's free to use . However once money goes in you can't get it out until November!
I'm glad banks are bring that back. I had one when I was a child.
I cant even budget for my solo self , hope next year I ll do better ,lol
You will pay more in Oct, Nov, and Dec because the prices will go up two or three times then when black Friday comes around it looks like a sale but it's not.
Love the tips! My fav is the holiday 'gift' idea, such amazing memories for the whole family! ❤
Having trouble accessing the rakuten link, from the UK, any idea how to get it to work?
We went on a trip last year and my 7 year old is sad we aren't going on one this year too 💔
Do you not get charged in America for having bank accounts? I’m from Ireland and every month you get charged for just having an account.
a lot of times banks hav caveats to waive fees. ie if u put $ in a savings account every month like on autopay then they credit back the fee every month. Like every month I see the chrg for the account & then the credit back right after. Also I can use the $ in the savings account any time I want w/ no fee or restrictions.
U shud go to yor bank & ask wat promos do they hav that make checking account free?
7 bank accounts? How much is the account fee on each account?
Down side of having multiple bank accounts is they often charge you a fee for each account per month.
Try a credit union rather than a bank.
Why do you call Christmas the holidays? What do you call the easter holidays or summer holidays?
“The holidays” which is the time we’re in right now. Christmas is a holiday that comes after Thanksgiving, which is also a holiday, silly. 🤦♀️
Where's the rest of the closet clean out
Cant afford christmas gifts anymore . Food and other stuff had gone up to much

I think she is a little more animated in this one than is typical maybe? But I love her quirks so it didn't bug me but maybe this one in particular was bothersome more so than some of her other vids. Maybe it is holiday energy? She does hav ADHD so mayb it is a little more pronounced here? idk
God forbid she have a personality. 🙄
Jordan that is pretty privileged for yor kids to not want or need anything @ Xmas. It's nice wen parents actually provide everything a kid needs & also wen a kid has a way to get some of wat they want. I'm thinking it is b/c of this that yor kids want a trip & nothing more. So it is not like they r Buddah kids that r somehow above regular kids from more working class fams.
I hope people don't take away from this that U R saying yor kids r a special breed & r above having "petty" wants like "other simpleton kids." For many children Christmas can be the one opp a yr they hav a chance to get something they want or even need so subbing that for a trip might b fun for them but they may hav to sacrifice other things such as clothes they want to wear or something fun like a bike.
The way u said it made it sound kinda like a kid wanting some of these things was overindulgent. Mayb so if u already hav 10 hoodies in yor closet but I'm thinking that families who hav to live more meagerly might be thinking wtheck? to yor comment

I think you’re on the wrong video
I just can't with her
Then don’t. Quit looking for attention from her.

Actually, I just quickly perused your comments on this channel, and there are dozens of them, with a large amount of them of a negative and admonishing tone to others, because they share a different view than yours.
You are the one seeking attention, involving yourself in nearly 90 comments from others!
You make very inappropriate and condescending remarks, as well as call names .
If anyone is seeking attention , it's definitely NOT me!
@@tinydiamond255 my comments to bullies is not the problem. You and all over bullies, you’re the problem.
I will never understand why people buy gifts for teachers. They are doing their jobs people!!! There is no need to gift them!!
They are underpaid and often spend their own money on the kids they are teaching…it’s just a nice gesture.
All the good teachers I knew would spend $200+ every year on resources, supplies, gifts for the kids, treats for the kids, decorations for the classroom… tell me what other occupation does that?
yes to both above comments! Yeah don't give them a gift, give them a Visa gift card w/$ they can spend however they want!! They deserve it
As a former teacher, I never would've expected a gift but they sure did make me feel appreciated and special.
You don’t understand because you’re selfish. Do better. Be a better person. They’re spending more time with your children than you are, educating them.
