BEWARE BLACK FRIDAY HYSTERIA<br />
BE VERY, VERY<br />
CAREFUL!!<br />
If you are in debt review, carefully consider if you need<br />
to get something for Black Friday.<br />
Beware of the FOMO getting the best of you. While instant gratification<br />
can be fun, it can seriously impact on your saving towards other<br />
important annual costs. And if it messes with your ability to make your<br />
debt repayment in November it is simply not worth it. You can lose all<br />
the progress you have made to date. That’s a bad exchange no matter<br />
how good the deal.<br />
If you have slowly been saving towards a certain item and will do some<br />
shopping around for the best advertised deal then that’s probably ok<br />
but beware of just buying something on impulse because it is a good<br />
price.<br />
Some people who are living on less simply decide to totally ignore all<br />
the media hype and adverts instead of being sucked in. Others decide<br />
to keep an eye out for items they are actively shopping for or have<br />
been saving towards.<br />
Whatever you decide to do this year, beware of Black Friday Hysteria!
