Ponderings on Airplanes

My Financial Planning essay (I actually handed this in):
Three Big Days
The last three days did not have a large effect on my personal finances. I did not go shopping on Black Friday or any of the other days of the week. This was because I was on vacation in Illinois so no one could take me shopping and I did not want to deal with the long lines and large crowds. I did go to a very crappy thrift store and bought an old game boy for 5 dollars. It’s pretty great. Actually it sucks. I saw many advertisements for lower priced electronics like televisions, game systems, and computers. I really want a Wii so I can play guitar hero, but I don’t have any money even with all these stupid sales. I wish I wasn’t poor. There was also no sales tax on that day in the state of Illinois. Sales tax in Illinois is like 10%. That must really suck if you live in Illinois. Have you ever read Julia’s blog? Don’t. It’s not good. I might buy something later on in the holiday season if I buy anything at all. I did make some small purchases during this time. I bought food when I went to eat at Steak N’ Shake on Saturday. The meal was pretty delicious. I ordered a cheeseburger and a cookies and cream milkshake. My milkshake had Oreos in it which was pretty awesome. I recommend you go eat there sometime. My family did spend a lot of money to buy airline tickets to Illinois. The airplane I rode in was very bumpy and I was worried I was going to die the whole time. I wonder how airplanes stay up in the sky. And where does the human waste go when you go to the bathroom on the plane? Is it just dumped out? That would be gross. I think we should all learn a lesson from the holiday of Thanksgiving and be thankful for the wonderful sales we can receive on Black Friday. It’s what the pilgrims would have wanted. In conclusion, the past three days have not had any major effects on my personal finances.
