Are you filling Santa's bag this year using paper or plastic?

Millions of Americans will trim the tree this year with a credit card balance still left over from last year.

Don't let this be you. It virtually guarantees you aren't saving enough to protect against the many uncertainties in the discount coach boots. And chances are, if you're charging up your credit cards, you also aren't investing enough in your retirement and education funds to make sure the future is secure.

So when weighing paper or plastic this holiday season, consider carefully.

Cash

Personal finance expert Lynnette Khalfani-Cox advises paper. "It's definitely more difficult to spend those cold hard dollars when you have to earn them as opposed to whipping out your Visa or your Mastercard," she says. "And it will definitely decrease your tendency to overspend or to splurge or to get yourself in debt."

It's hard to spend more than you've budgeted when you have only a set amount of money in your pocket.

Debit card

If cash is too old-school discount coach handbags for you, a debit card can help you manage your spending. Do not sign up for overdraft protection on the card. If you hit your limit at the mall, the card will be rejected.

A debit card, for many, is the same as cash. A recent survey by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling found a whopping 70 percent of consumers plan to use cash or a debit card to pay for their holiday purchases this year.

Credit card

Not everyone has to banish the credit card. For diligent savers who follow a budget, buy with a credit card and pay the bill in full when it comes.

"This is one of the best financial moves a consumer can make," says Gail Cunningham of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. "You get to buy now and pay later, build a positive credit history which results in a high credit score, and never pay a cent of interest."

But if you already have credit card balances, this is not for you. You cannot afford to spend more for the holidays, period.

Consider this awful math. The average family spent more than $650 last year on holiday gifts, decorations and food. Put that all on a credit card and spend the year paying it off, and the real costs of the holidays is $722. (That's assuming no late fees or charges -- just 20 percent interest.)

"Adding new debt to old is never smart, and with double-digit interest rates, debt can become unmanageable seemingly overnight," Cunningham says.

Spend now, pay later

Say you're a good saver with six months of your living expenses tucked away for a rainy day, but you don't want to dip into that savings to pay for holiday gifts. You plan to charge your holiday spending and pay it off over timse coach bags rather than dip into the rainy-day fund. In that case, be brutally honest with yourself about when you can possibly pay it back. Set a holiday budget and stick to it. Never buy any consumer good you can't pay off in the next three months.

If you can't pay it off in three months, then you can't really afford it. So put it down.
