So much for black Friday

The day after thanksgiving is affectionately named black Friday. This name was given to it by businesses who gained massive profits to push them from being in negative to positive profit. What happened this year? Nothing really changed. It wasn't any different than any other shopping day. The people didn't go out in storms to buy everything they've wanted all year. Except for in new York where a woman got trampled to death by charging shoppers. Why didn't people run out and spend their money? Because all of this talk about financial ruin and everyone saying save your money. Money is a very sensitive subject with millions of Americans now a days and when a so called money expert says to save your money that's what people do. Apparently money experts and business experts are not the same because not spending money is not going to fix the problem. People need better money management skills. That's what the media should be pushing. They should be having segments about smart money managements instead of constantly instilling fear in everyone by saying America is going collapse.
