What are your Friday plans?
Good morning! How is your short work week going? Do you find yourself day dreaming about the feast and football that awaits you on Thursday? There’s nothing like enjoying pumpkin pie and the Detroit lions get pounded by the Green Bay Packers to usher in the holidays. Bring on the beating Packers, football is a good turkey digestion activity. I hope you are thinking about easing into your Friday with extra sleep and a good cup of coffee, not in a tent outside a store or standing in line to fight through the black Friday crowd. Black Friday shopping frightens me. It is my night mare to be trapped in a store with thousands of slightly on edge people looking for a discount on socks. What if one of them snaps or the end of the world happens and everyone goes into panic mode. That is way too many people to calm down. Then suddenly saving money becomes a fight for your life while everything gets thrown into chaos. But even without the end of the world scenario happening what about all that traffic, sounds stressful.
I would rather sit on my couch still in whatever clothes I’ve slept in, with my lap top, a cup of coffee, and the remote control in hand. Maybe I’ll be doing a little online shopping, maybe not. Do you have any clients looking for a black Friday deal on a house? Some clients may be praying for the black Friday deal of the century on their dream home. Not a very realistic expectation. Don’t read me wrong there are deals to be had but there aren’t miracles waiting around every corner. Steals and deals take time, take effort, and sometimes they take a renovation. That is why this Friday I am sitting back and taking my time. If a deal happens my way I may take up on it or I may take up on a nap. Either way I will be far from stores. What black Friday deals have you come across?
I’m not the one to ask to be your wing man for black Friday shopping but if that’s you remember to stretch before hand and watch out for right hook.
