Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Its here! The most discounted time of the year is here!

Which is exciting and intimidating...and typically fairly overwhelming.

You feel the pressure to buy - for presents and for yourself. It feels like the whole world is on sale and you don't want to miss out on a deal.

Or is that just me?

I have to remind myself not to buy things...just to buy things. A deal is only a deal if we will actually use it or need it, otherwise its just a waste of our money.

I'm using this year to grab some birthday presents for my kiddos because we're already done Christmas shopping. All three of my sweet babies were born in July so it can be a very expensive month for us. We're also trying to focus on experiences over stuff. We have 5 people in a tiny house, the last thing we need is more stuff.

So this is just your friendly reminder to grab the deals, but only if it keeps you within your budget. No one needs a bunch of debt for Christmas.
