It seems like everybody is trying to get the rest of our disposable income, every single day

I got an email just now.

I’m not going to open it.

But it says that there is a big sale coming soon and I could get awesome discounts.

Nope, I’m not going to open it!

Okay, I read the email. Can you guess the content? It said that there are plenty of great items on sale for wonderful stocking stuffer gifts at affordable prices.

Why did I even read it?!?

It’s just another company trying to get the rest of my small amount of remaining disposable income. Is there no end to this madness? Come on, man.

Big Discounts

I’m a big fan of saving money and cutting expenses. Nobody likes saving more than me. Okay, correction on that. I’m sure that there are plenty of people who have ways to save money and cut costs out there and of course I have plenty to learn from others.

I’m not advocating that we stop shopping altogether. Some gifts are fine. It is the season of sharing and giving to others feels nice.
