Retailers hope that we do not engage in smart holiday spending because they want to make every cent that they can before the year ends. While capitalism is our system and can benefit all, we should look harder at our spending in such a bad economy. Did you ever think that marketers are using mind control to make people spend money that they cannot afford to spend? To sleep in front of a store for two days to spend money on items that are luxuries seems to be over the top. How do retailers get people to act so crazy? Why do shoppers attack each other when a sale price is at stake? Certainly, these people must have been unduly influenced by something in order to act this way.
At a time when so many people have lost everything, the rest of us should be thinking of our own futures. If not, we should at least think of how we can help family or friends in need. There is nothing wrong with buying things, but we should look at the big picture. Perhaps, we could participate in a joint venture and embark on a business idea. If you spend money, consider spending it on something that will make you money instead of some luxury item that you may not have needed in the first place. Smarter holiday spending is mandatory with all of the tricks that retailers have up their sleeves.
