I've been trying to save money so that I can help my husband with the Christmas shopping this year. I hoep you reach your goal. It must be tiring. Well at first I was a little discouraged because I wasn't making that much. Things have picked up recently though_comma_ and I feel I will be able to help him a good bit so I'm feeling better about it. Don't give up. Things may not be great one day but they always pick up eventually.
