Why Black Friday SHOULDN'T Be a No Brainer!

So, taking into consideration that I will be skipping payment of some bills, I decided to take advantage of Black Friday offer and extend my Premium membership for one more year. But it wasn't an easy choice. And for some, I am sure it is out of reach, no matter how good this offer is.

I heard (read) many members say something like: "this is no brainer", or "you have to be nuts not to take advantage of it." I agree to a point. It is a good offer. But sometimes life gets in the way, and there is literally nothing you can do about it.

Like in my case, I had an injury that took me out of work for one full year. This means one entire year without any income. And bills don't care if you have money or not. You still need to pay them. I still had to put food on the table. All of my savings drained, and it did get hard.

Now, I am not complaining. My situation wasn't something that happened to everyone. And God forbid it should happen to anyone! I did start working two months ago, got my first salary before two weeks, and from there, I immediately put $300 aside, knowing I will invest it toward this offer.

Yes, it will cause some tails to be dragged. Probably longer than a month or two. And I am aware of it. However, I made a choice, and I plan to stick with it. I know and understand the value that Wealthy Affiliate provides and gives.

And I don't have a family or kids to feed. But some do. And they can't just say: I decided to take $300 out of budget so my kids will not eat for two weeks. That would be an idiotic thing to do.

So, don't put pressure on other people that are struggling with money. In my country, $300 is more than half of the salary. So in order to save that amount of money, it takes time. And if someone started, let's say, four months ago, with a bad financial situation, they can't afford it.

A no brainer should be if you are more than a year in WA, and you know there will be an offer like this.

And no, you aren't nuts if you don't take this offer. There will be another one next year. Even if it wouldn't, who guarantee you will live another one year? Or that you won't get out of a job tomorrow? Or that you or your family member won't get sick, and you will have to pay for hospital treatment?

As one of my favorite lines from a movie goes: The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. (comment if you know from which movie it is. Don't cheat :P )

So, dear reader, if you are one of those who can't afford Black Friday offer, don't beat yourself up. Now you know what to expect in the future. Save your money until the next offer. And the following year, you will be fully prepared to get it!
