Thoughts on Valentines Day

By Matt - Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I couldn’t resist throwing out a post about this holiday since it’s a hallmark holiday that it screams to be avoided. Unfortunately its not quiet that easy, a lot of people attribute a lot to this day which is very sweet and cute but that doesn’t help the pocket book when chocolates, gifts and expensive dinners are involved. To prove the point a little further Yahoo! has an article up saying Americans will spend $17 Billion on this Valentines Day.

This holiday is one that shouldn’t exist, wait hear me out; if we didn’t wait for one day of the year to let our significant others know what we think and feel about them we wouldn’t need to take out a second mortgage just to make it an extra special affair. Now with all of that said it is nice to do something special to show your loved ones you care even if you need a special day on the calendar to remind you. It doesn’t have to be about the gifts and the money. Remember you’re trying to show them you care and you love them not that you can put yourself into debt extra fast on Valentines Day.

So for all of you out there with wives, husbands, girlfriends or boyfriends go out and show your special someone what they mean to you but make it from the heart not the pocket book it will mean that much more.
