I'm so sure Cyber Monday is going to break all the records and we're gonna spend a gazillion dollars online ... I mean, how much more money can people possibly have? On the other hand, I think it's kinda crazy how many people are shopping on their phones - aren't they worried about running out of battery or something? ️ And what's with all these gadgets and gizmos? Don't we need some quality time to relax at home instead of buying a new video game console? ... wait, no I don't say that... people love their gaming consoles and who can blame them? It's just that sometimes I think we overdo it with all the shopping and tech stuff. But then again, maybe it's nice to have some fun and treat ourselves every now and then... or is it just an excuse for unnecessary purchases?
