Friday Fun: It’s BUY NOTHING DAY, contrary to popular belief

Nov 23rd, 2007 by nancyzimmerman

In all the shopping hype across the border, a quiet revolution may go un-noticed.

Hey Nancy,
That’s an amusing video..

I’m confused now!!
What what happen if people didn’t over charge their credit cards and didn’t buy unnecessary things ? Has it ever happened.

What happened if people were content for just one day and didn’t feel the urge to go out and buy something?!!

I’m going to have to think on this awhile!!

Don’t forget about the Canadian Tour of Personal Finance Blogs on Tuesday November 27th.
I changed the date from Sunday as I thought everybody would be watching the Grey Cup.

Please let all your readers know about the tour.

I was just watching the madness in the US on the news. Sigh…. it is depressing sometimes. I managed to buy nothing so far today. Yay!

@monty loree – I know! I know! It’s a very baffling thing, not buying stuff and tx for the reminded. I’ll get my act together on that tomorrow am.

@wooly woman. yeah, it’s depressing, but if you haven’t clicked on the buy nothing link above, it’s worth 10 minutes. It’s so counter-cultural and wonderful.
