V-day! Becareful about the hype.

Valentine's day is a great day to spend money. You can spend wisely or stupidly and you still feel like you have not spent enough. Is that the media's fault or mine? I use to get my grandmother flowers, even when I was broke. When she passed it seemed as though the holiday disappeared, only to be banged into my head repeatedly by the ad's on tv. I started looking for things to buy, on my tight budget, and only found a handful of things. This leads me to think that the "love" industry is still making $$$$$$$$$$. $5 for a dozen roses are resold for $40. That is an awesome profit margin. I think I will pitch in with a friend and make my own bouquet and leave it on her gravestone. Happy Valentine's day to all our loved ones who are no longer here!
