Loto ticket would be nice though....lol I am literally in the same boat, we have what we need... except the loto ticket...
Though I shop for 2 girls. but they mostly by their own gifts, wrap them, put my name as the From and then on the day, open them and act surprised... My usual Bad Dad joke answer is usually like "how thoughtful of me" or "I can't wait to see my face when I see what I got you" lol... though it has bitten me a few times... lol.. but when they get me stuff, it's usually quite awsome... like a bottle of expensive whisky that I'd never buy myself, stuff like that...
I just work too much, they get it, I get it... single income with a house of 5 in a semi-expensive market, could be worst...
the ongoing joke for us this year is...
lol

Lol that's awesome. If you get a cruise, go on the Disney. It is THE best hands down.
It's tough these days. By yourself, ya no problem. Can afford anything. Add kids, debt is more constant than anything. Bummer is you get punished for scraping by, always some stupid late fee ect. This is how companies make money on nothing. Rather you shut the gas off for a couple of days, I get the cash needed, pay the bill and you can shove the fees. Just makes it harder....
But yea, my kids have way way more than myself when I was growing up. WAY more. So I feel satisfied and so do they. As a result, Honor roll and never in trouble. For me, it was the other way around. Always in trouble and didn't care for school much at all... Partied till about 21, got a driving drunk ticket and then started wrenching made a career from it. And being blue collar, might as well be in poverty.... oh wait... Pretty sure I'm right there man. Just standing on the line. Median household income in the state of Illinois rose to $60,960 (I make a touch less than this Gross)

Yeah, I'm pretty terrible about all that myself. It might be new mice and keyboards for us this year, mainly because we need such.
