It seems yesterday was the saddest day of the year For what I read it is on this day that we realize that we don't have money post-Christmas, we also became aware of our inability to achieve at least one of ours New Year's resolution, the time that has already passed since Christmas, the weather doesn't help, among other factores make this day the worst of the all year.
At the end I think It is only a marketing strategy as I saw many special sales on this day.
For me It was a completely normal day and the best part Is It seems that from now on there will be no sad days
How was your monday? Did you feel blue?

I totally agree it must be some kind of marketing, what will they be thinking of next?
My Monday and Blue Monday was just like any other.

@nela13 Sounds a good idea but I don't think that would go down to well with retailers lol

This has been a quite depressing month so far. Been in the hole the whole month Financially and hoping somehow by March at the latest to somehow be back on track. I am trying to keep positive even with it seeming like everything being a downer for me right now.

So, people don't have money but they want them to shop some more and get into more debt?

Monday was okay with me since the ending of the Saints vs Vikings football game will be some new satire material for my Wordgirl fan fictions and sports blogs.

hmm, let see... Yeah, looking back, I wasted almost the whole Monday preparing a complicated document, only to find out later that there was no need for it. I got a bit mad at myself, but then I consoled myself that I could always use whatever I had there as a template for other files. Hope your week has been good otherwise.

I am glad you are feeling much better when I read towards the end of your discussion. I enjoy writing here, as sometimes when we write, we might think of a solution or a way to cheer up ourselves too. I hope you will be able to find some good money online, so you might still be able to spend a little of what you want. I agree that those special sales are just marketing tricks, but sometimes I do fall into the traps.
I am still trying to plan for my year, organize my stuff, my online work and homeschooling my kids. Everything is still in a mess now, but I am learning and growing, and things do get better everyday which makes me feel good. Once in a while, I do worry about our financial issues after I became a stay-at-home mom, but I'll just have to accept and let go of the guilt, and try to find ways to make money online.
