Saving Everyday

OCTOBER 15, 2019

Black Friday 2019 will be here before you know it! Going out Black Friday shopping was a tradition in our family for years. Black Friday 2019. Plenty of cash and debit/credit cards. So, you’ve made a list, know what stores you’re going to, and exactly what you want to buy.

For avid shoppers, Black Friday may be one of the highlights of the year. Unfortunately, Black Friday can also suck your budget dry without you even noticing. It’s no secret that Black Friday can get super competitive. When you spot a great deal, you might just buy it without any thought of how you’ll use it.

I am totally paraphrasing the year, but had it not been for the money in our emergency savings, we would most likely have used credit cards to survive. We’d survived the dip in 2007, carried no credit card debt, and we were contributing to our retirement. What got us through financially? Our emergency fund.
