Top 7 Reasons Why you Should Turn Down

I hear this phrase lately on the daily, “Turn Down for What”. By people who claim they are having a blast living life in a constant state of euphoric bliss aka a 24 hour party. Before the phrase, “turn down for what”, popped up all over the media, the opposite phrase (Turn Up) that means the same thing, and it was also mentioned by everyone who likes to party hard. I will give you and explain the Top 7 Reasons Why you Should Turn Down.

One thing that makes me laugh is that the people who made the phrase, “turn down for what” famous are the stars in TV / Radio personalities / Club DJ’s. They are brainwashing you to get you to promote this phrase for their benefit. Their motives for yelling this phrase and the last 5 phrases including YOLO, is to get the regular Joe to spend more money. This supposedly leads to a happier life for average Joe. I get it you want to live life to the fullest without any regrets, but believe me you will pay in the end if you keep yelling, “Turn Down for what”, while opening your wallet to live above your means. Going clubbing every weekend might seem like a great time, but believe me that is not the right place to meet the future husband or bride to be.

Memorial Day Weekend Frugal Activities

Hello friends it’s memorial day weekend finally. This spring weather has been the worse that I have seen in a long time. It’s been rainy and cold all the way up until now in the Northeast area. How has it been in your neck of the woods? I am definitely looking forward to better weather going forward and why not since the beaches are now finally open.

I wanted to share with you guys a few Memorial day weekend frugal activities you can do this weekend and for the many other weekends going forward. Summer time should be a fun time for people to get out and connect with others, so put those cell phones down once in a while. I crack up when I go somewhere and people are sitting having lunch together and staring at their cell phones. I have also seen when I go to the park, two people walking side by side and they are both using cell phones. If they are not checking a love note from an old flame then I do not see the point. Hopefully you’re not one of those people.

Memorial Day Weekend Frugal Activities:

– Itching to see a movie- Hit up matinees
– Need some new clothes- Search online for 30-40% off retail deals.
– Footwear looking stale- Search for bogo deals in your area.
– Going on date- Have a picnic and Pack fruit with champagne.
– Feeling stressed- Go to Groupon, Google offers, Amazon offers for first time deals on Massages.
– Need more retail therapy- Search for old gift cards you can finally use.
– Feeling lonely- Call up some friends /family members and host a potluck dinner.
– Feeling tired of TV- Set aside 30 min everyday this weekend to run or workout.

These are a few fun frugal ideas you can do this weekend. Sometimes you can just have fun by spending under $50 bucks doing the activities above and avoid spending 200 dollars at a bar.

This is what I am currently spending a month to access the internet now a days. It consists of two cell phones with data and home based internet usage. This gives me access to surf the web on my cell phones whenever I desire too, and at home on my computer.

The question I am proposing is, is it worth it to spend 90 dollars a month for internet?
