The product is very good. For the AU$29 it costs, you get budgeting, financial planning templates as well as advanced features that typically cost loads more as separate software packages such as investment real estate calculations (mainly based on rental cash-flow analysis) as well as some value based shares valuations (based on Warren Buffet's stock valuation methodology) Their website is http://www.parcusgroup.com For anyone interested in their own wealth creation this product is definitely worth looking at.

It's the gift circle of life. My approach is to return all the crappy gifts people get me that I don’t want and use the cash and credits for the next round of gifts I buy.

I'm a grad student and I am paying for the gifts I bought with the proceeds of selling my books (purchased used) back to the book store. I considered selling them on Amazon.com or Half.com, but I wanted to money now and it saves me trips to the post office.

We used about half of my extra paycheck this month (it's my 3 paycheck month) for gifts. I used credit and cash, but it was budgetted and planned for ahead of time.

Not buying gifts! Seriously, in this day and age, many people just buy for themselves what they already want, making it extremely difficult to buy anyone anything. For the people that I really do want to give gifts to, they'll get them when I make them (and yes, I will make handmade gifts especially designed for each person). Why do I have to wait for a religious holiday celebrating the birth of someone I don't believe in to give my loved ones gifts? Baahumbug! What am I doing that works? Not buying gifts!

This will be our first Christmas ever that we haven't used credit cards. Well, we used them but only for leverage and rewards - we have the cash to pay it. I'm really proud of us. It was only possible though because of saving throughout the year. We ended up with close to $800 saved and the rest we were able to cover with non-saved money. It's such a great feeling! Cash baby!
