Por ejemplo, si ganas $36,000 (el promedio de ingreso para un hogar hispano), tu presupuesto para las fiestas es de $550. Al determinar un presupuesto realista, sabrás cuánto puedes gastar cuando compres los regalos.

Lleva un registro de tus compras: Ir de compras durante la temporada de fiestas puede ser agotador y puedes sentir la tentación de reducir la vigilancia de tu dinero; mantén el control de tus gastos. Si juntas todos tus recibos, puedes vigilar tu presupuesto y también asegurarte de que llevas la cuenta de tus compras. Presta atención: Asegúrate bien de que tengas tu tarjeta debit o tu tarjeta de crédito después de cada compra. Si pierdes tu tarjeta de crédito o tu tarjeta debit, informa de inmediato a la institución financiera que la emitió. Si no tienes el número de teléfono, Visa te ofrece un número telefónico gratuito que te puede ayudar en español: 1-800- VISA-911. Hay más seguridad en grupos: Ve de compras durante las fiestas con tus amigos o familiares. Si vas de compras solo, pídele a un agente de seguridad que te acompañe a tu automóvil. No dejes tus compras a la vista cuando dejes tu automóvil solo. Ahorra al enviarle dinero a tu familia: La temporada de fiestas es una de las épocas más populares para enviar dinero a las familias que están fuera del país. Muchos bancos ofrecen servicios de remesas competitivos; pregúntale a tu banco cómo puedes ahorrar dinero cuando le envías dinero a tu familia. Al comprar por Internet: Protege tu información privada cuando hagas compras por Internet; instala un programa de computación contra virus. Haz compras solamente en sitios Web que conozcas y en los cuales confíes, y no proporciones información confidencial, como por ejemplo tu número de identificación personal (PIN) o tu contraseña. Nunca des tu número de tarjeta de crédito como prueba de tu edad. Busca la imagen de un pequeño candado en la barra de estado en la parte de abajo de la ventana del buscador, un URL que comienza con “https://” o las palabras “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”. Estos letreros indican que sólo tú y el comerciante pueden ver tu información de pago. Revisa las ventas: Guarda los regalos, el papel para envolver regalos y las decoraciones para que las puedas usar la temporada de fiestas del próximo año.

Baby is very sweet girl with a sad story to tell. The reason she is here at the shelter is because her owner passed away.

As you can see from the photos, she is starting to lose her vision. Baby needs a quiet, adult only home with someone who will understand her limits and love her anyways.

Murph Lee, Rabbit, Mini-Lop Mix, Size: Medium, Age: Adult, Gender: Male. Originally found as a stray, Murph Lee’s most recent family had him for 7 months and was surprised to learn the extent of responsibility required to care for a happy and healthy house rabbit. As you can imagine, this sweet and cuddly Mini-lop Mix is hoping to find a committed, loving family to call his own. Murph Lee is an active, social fellow who loves being petted but would prefer not to be held. He has lived in the company of adults, older children and the family dog. In a nurturing and caring environment, we believe Murph Lee would make a wonderful family companion.
