I end up penniless.

In my country the holidays is a time to buy for CHILDREN ONLY, not an exchange of gifts between adults.

My bank account suffers because I'm forced to exchange gifts with other adults. I'd be fine with people saying, "hey, let's skip that, since it's basically like me going out to buy myself something I don't need."
