Avoid Black Friday like the plague



Despite your ever-growing household debt and common sense, many of you will fall victim to the "Let's all go crazy "shopping frenzy that is known as "Black Friday". Look at all the sales and credit card offers. These special deals offered only once a year. Better, go out with the rest of the lemmings to stand in line for twenty hours for the new "Tickle Me Whatever is popular this year", piece of foreign made, lead painted junk, that little Billy and Suzie will forget about when their Ritalin wears off. We cannot forget the long lines, traffic, and rude people; you know "holiday spirit". No wonder the suicide rate always increases during the holidays. But still there's more, just think about those unregulated usury high interest rate credit card bills that will be rolling in a couple of months. Maybe you can get another couple of jobs to cover all the fun and festivities. On the other hand, you can use some of your remaining brain cells, stay home and celebrate your new financial freedom.
