Amazon Prime Day 2020 will be on October 13 and 14

I don't think that I have ever really spent any sizable amount of money on Black Friday. I'm too picky on wanting a particular feature set, so I'm typically not drawn to things like the blowout deals on a particular TV set. The models that I wanted to buy are never included in that mega-sale. In addition, I hate being around people. I will gladly pay more if it means not getting up at the crack of dawn and waiting in lines for hours.

I have no money this year for the holidays. I bought a new mountain bike, put in new granite in my house and redid my deck. I'm done with spending for the time being.

Jimbo is right, never spend beyond your means. That $1000 TV thats half price is still a $1000 dollars out of your pocket.

Oh rubbish!!
I always spend beyond my means, then declare bankruptcy, rinse, repeat

isn't that the new American way, it seems corporate has turned it into an art form, at the least some of it's politicians have.

Hi there
It's even cleverer than that @Trust_No1

Hedge funds / vulture capitalists etc - (for budding entrepreneurs --this is what you do).

1) Buy something with a known brand name -- But with NONE of your own money up front !!! -- you borrow against the assets of the thing you are buying.

2) Strip it of anything "sellable" and pocket the money in Cayman Islands / other off shore tax havens

3) Declare the company Bankrupt and walk away --leaving tax payer to fund unemployment of staff now without jobs / pick up the pieces.

"nice one" -- anyway bet it's the first time on a Windows Forum you've got a free lesson (101) in "Venture fund capitalism or Hedge fund management !!!. You never know what you learn here !!!!.

Cheers

Thank you for the free tutoring, education is costly now days

Prime day or not, I only buy when I want or need something. I also wish Amazon would stop sending me ads for something I already bought.
